I am not able to reproduce this on feisty firefox version 2.0.0.2+1-0ubuntu1

I am able to reproduce this on edgy version 2.0.0.2+0dfsg-0ubuntu0.6.10

(Edgy)gnomefreak@FeistyFawn:~$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_08"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_08-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_08-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

I have reproduced this crash on feisty too

Firefox: 2.0.0.2+1-0ubuntu1

retrace done

I have been able to fix this java bug in feisty by upgrading new j2re1.4 (1.4.2.02-1ubuntu3). Once the upgrade is done the java applet works fine (I guess that gnomefreak had this package so his feisty's didn't crash.

So let's keep this bug for EDGY only ;)

I think its java5 causing this crash. on feisty i use java6-plugin and it does not crash at all. using java5 on edgy it crashes. Hilario can you please install sun-java6-plugin and set it to default in update-alternatives and see if it crashes on feisty for you than?

Please leave this assigned to me.I talked with someone from our backport team and he feels ok with backported java6 so im going to build it and play with it a bit on edgy and see what happens from there. Changed to in progress. I told him i would let him know in a week or two (whent he archives have calmed down for the ok.

Yes, you were right. Using Java6 does not crash.

Hilario and Jens please enable your backport repos and install sun-java6-plugin and see if this still crashes for you in Edgy. I will try to test today if i get time and i will be gone till monday. just let me know what you find out. Thank you.

Its fixed here with java6 in backports. Closing bug now, Please reopen is java6 doesnt fix it for you and attach crash report after new crash. Thank you for your bug.

gnomefreak: fixed for me on edgy, but I had some problems installing java6:

...
root@paleo:/etc/apt# dpkg --configure sun-java6-bin Setting up sun-java6-bin (6-00-0ubuntu1~edgy1) ...
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing sun-java6-bin (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
 sun-java6-bin

So the only workaround was:

...
root@paleo:/etc/apt# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/jre/lib/i386/jli/ dpkg --configure sun-java6-bin
Setting up sun-java6-bin (6-00-0ubuntu1~edgy1) ...

Maybe it's *only me*. But you should consider to add that LD_LIBRARY_PATH stuff to the post-installation script.

Hilario from the backports repo? it installed here fine in edgy chroot.

Starslights:
Please file a separate bug for your crash.
When it crashes apport dialog should pop-up and ask you to file a bug report. Since you are not using a released version of firefox the dialog will not pop-up so please use the stable firefox-3.5 in repos (not PPA) and see if you can reproduce this, than file a bug on that version. Please give us as much detail that you can about system and packages Java and Firefox installed.. also add if this is only sit eyou see it with or if you can reproduce it with any other site.
most likely this bug is not the same as yours.
