Comment 7 for bug 359407

This is a high-importance bug since any applet embedded in a web page can cause Firefox to spin the CPU at 100% until the entire Firefox process is killed.

The user has no control over the launching of a Java applet nor warning that a page contains one.

Now that firefox-3.5 takes over the /usr/bin/firefox symbolic link this becomes more invasive since any desktop shortcuts or links embedded in application configurations that expect to launch a working firefox-3.0 will launch firefox-3.5 instead.
