I observed the same in 7.10 when loading an applet with a (slightly) invalid code attribute of the applet tag:
When the package parts are separated with backslashes like windows paths, e.g. code="com\example\stuff\Myclass.class", Mozilla and IE will gladly load and run the applet under windows. However, on Ubuntu 7.10, Firefox stalls and hogs the CPU. As far as I can see, this is the same for Java 5 or 6. A valid code attribute would of course look like this: code="com.example.stuff.Myclass.class" -- Java applet makes Firefox crash, 100% cpu usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/31631 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
