[Bug 524345] Re: Seems that Firefox 3.5.x hangs at demo page

 

Works fine in my setup with Firefox 3.6, but still hangs with 3.5.3 and
3.5.8 which I have just tried. Cannot determine the reason, but it's
probably specific to my system... Java console is empty whereas Firefox
eats 100% CPU even before showing the Java window with a question
whether to launch the applet or now. After showing, it's totally
unresponsive (Java console works, though).

Let the bug be open for some time until I get the clue or we simply
close it.

Bug description:
Tested with Firefox 3.5.3 under Ubuntu (this is the latest stable version in Ubuntu repositories AFAIK). When I click on "Register the client and starts the connection to the Samp hub" link at http://vo.imcce.fr/webservices/samp/demo.html page regardless hub is launched or not, I get unresponsive Firefox eating 100% of CPU. I suppose this is just a launch of an applet.

Java stuff:

Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_16-b01

    File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
    Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_16

Need to note, that other Java-JavaScript interactions work just fine. For that purpose I usually check http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/CWP-Sources/CWP-Examples/Chapter19/MoldSimulation.html

Did not test the latest Firefox 3.6 available, but seems that the user base of 3.5 is really huge at the moment.
