Bug 176280 was marked as a duplicate of this one (156493). For that
reason, I'm reporting a new instance of that bug here. It's a bug where
the Java fphover package causes infinite warning boxes.

I just experienced this problem again, many years after the previous
report, when visiting www.chakraplein.nl/allin_taylor.htm. I am running
Java 1.7.0 (the latest). Firefox 19.0.2, Windows XP Home SP3, computer
otherwise running well. I have already also entered this info at bug
176280.

In my opinion, the problem should be fixed (in Mozilla) because it looks
exactly like malware (a phishing attempt to get the user to click OK to
gain access to install malware). If someone can replicate this report, I
recommend it be fixed since it gives the appearance of being a serious
bug (it isn't really a serious problem, but unsophisticated users may
not realize that, because it makes the browser stop responding).
