I also want to confirm this bug on lucid. Not a firefox crash but openJDK. Java spikes the cpu to 100%. I think that anyone saying facebook java uploader works for them doesn't have OpenJDK installed. I have seen this exact issue on 5 pc of different hardware config. The only thing they had in common was OpenJDK.
Installing sun-java-jre and sun-java6-plugin and removing OpenJDK fixes issue. ------------ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin ----------- then remember to remove OpenJDK. sun-java reports a warning about running signed and unsigned code in facebook applet. So may be a bug in the way OpenJDK handles this. -- Uploading photos in Facebook does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu.
