1. I tried it first on the Ubuntu 9.10 machine with sun-java6-jre installed but not with sun-java6-plugin. The same error message appeared. I will not repeat the details.
When I hit run, the applet loaded, and it appears to be functioning normally. 2. I installed both sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin on the first machine. (the one with 10.04) Same behavior as the 9.10 machine. Same error message, then the app appears to work fine after you hit run. So, I conjecture that the problem is that the app needs to run in the sun-java6-jre instead of in the plugin, where it should run. It is an applet for uploading pictures, and allows you to browse files on your own machine and upload them, so there's a fairly obvious possibility for a large security hole here. I'm not qualified to evaluate whether this particular app is allowing remote systems access to local info, but the error message seems to indicate that there is some sort of security problem here. The most serious error seems to be with the design of the app, and not with Ubuntu or Firefox. Also, it is still throwing an error on the certificate, which, to my untrained eye, appears valid and current. Thawte may do business with some shady characters, but facebook is a big player, so perhaps this certificate should not be rejected automatically. Leaving status at new for now, since this second issue might be valid. Reporting the issue to facebook as well. -- Can not add photos to Facebook https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307891 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
