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). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2697 Title: Firefox crash when opening an mplayer or Java plugin ubuntu breezy Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Fix Released Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Dear Sir, My system is:Hp compaq nx9030 laptop OS: Ubuntu Breezy preview - gnome 2.12.0 - kernel 2.6.12-9.14 Processor: 1.6 Ghz Centrino mobile Memory: 256 MB Graphics: Intel onboard 82852/855GM Sound:Intel ICH4 AC'97 controller network: Realtek 8139, pro wireless 2200BG "ipw2200" Hello, when opening a plugin in firefox related to mplayer or java all windows close "one of the sites i tried was wwitv.com" on the orginal breezy preview version the problem occured rarely with mplayer and frequently with java, here are some of the installed packages versions: firefox 1.0.7-0ubuntu15 firefox-gnome-support 1.0.7-0ubuntu15 mozilla-mplayer 3.05-1ubuntu1 mplayer-586 1:1.0-pre7cvs20050716-0.1ubuntu7 xmms-xmmplayer 0.3.3-1 j2re1.4 1.4.2.02-1ubuntu3 java-common 0.23ubuntu3 java-gcj-compact 1.0.30-4 libgcj6 4.0.1-4ubuntu8 libgnujaxp-java 1.3-3ubuntu2 libgnujaxp-jni 1.3-3ubuntu2 libjaxp1.2-java 1.2.01-1ubuntu2 libjessie-java 1.0.0-1ubuntu3 libxalan2-java 2.6.0-3ubuntu1 libxerces2-java 2.6.2-2ubuntu3 libxt-java 0.20020426a-3ubuntu2 Also the Java plugin control planel(1.4) and Java policy tool(1.4) in system --> preferences are not opening.
