Firefox hangs with java in Linux
- by Xolve
I am using Firefox 3.6 on Linux and I haveJava 6 update 15. Obviously I am using the newer plugin type.
Whenever I open a page with Java applet it just becoms unresponsive and hangs. I tried with Chrome. I think it detects the Java plugin from mozilla's plugins folder. Due to multiprocess architecture it doesn't hang and shows the initial applet loading window but then it reports that the plugin has crashed.
The only way I can run Java applets is to download the class file and make an html file and run the applet using applet viewer.
