helpdesk: Can you try it again. This time, start firefox from a terminal as follows:
ICEDTEAPLUGIN_DEBUG=true firefox and then attach the resulting logs. They are either: /tmp/java.stderr and /tmp/java.stdout OR ~/.icedteaplugin/java.stderr and ~/.icedteaplugin/java.stdout Please also scan the files before attaching to make sure there is no personal info in the logs. My mentor referred me to the Mozilla team's head Triager who said he would start looking upstream for more information. He could not give me a date/time when he would get back to me but I trust him to get us some more information when he can. I have been annoying him with questions about your bug for a couple of days now. :-) -- firefox 3.5.5 icedtea bug java app https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491181 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu.
