(sorry for the comment spam, just being thorough) I previously had adblock plus version installed via addons.mozilla. I uninstalled this, and installed adblock-plus via aptitude. Still hanging under the same circumstances.
Note that not *all* java pages cause the hang, I just searched for "java calculator" and visited the top hit (http://yamaza.com/java/calc.html) without a hang while adblock plus is enabled. $ apt-cache policy adblock-plus adblock-plus: Installed: 1.1.1-0ubuntu3 Candidate: 1.1.1-0ubuntu3 Version table: *** 1.1.1-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status -- adblock plus hangs firefox visiting some pages containing java applets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300416 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
