[opensuse] Firefox Java plugin misbehaving
Hello, For some time now (a few months), I've had problems accessing some (not all !) java-based web servicse: the applet won't start, and the system typically displays a high CPU load. Originally, I linked it with the upgrade to "update10" of the Sun Java plugin, but reverting to update9 (or even to Java1.5 for that matter) didn't resolve the issue. I was hoping that applying update11 (I just did) would restore the service, but it didn't either. My setup: - OpenSuSE 11.00, 32bit, fully patched - Firefox 3.0.5 - java-1_6_0-sun-plugin-1.6.0.u11-0.1 Example of applets/services that work: - iLO virtual media - Juniper SSG5 firewall admin interface - HP Procurve switch (5406) web-based management interface - some silly clock applet Example of applets/services that don't: - iLO remote console (has been flaky since moving the FF 3, but used to mostly work) - Juniper Secure Access VPN (used to work fine) - Planisware OPX2 Intranet Server (not tested before) Java in general (i.e. locally, not through the browser) works fine. Has anyone else seen this ? Any help is appreciated. TIA Cheers. Bye. Ph.

No, But you could try downloading and updating to the latest version by downloading the rpm file from java.sun.com...

Hello Allen, As far as I can see on java.sun.com, Java 1.6 update 11 (the version currently installed on my laptop) is the latest available. Or did you have something else in mind ? Ph. A. Allen Zhu wrote:

You can fill a bug into a bugzilla, but I'm afraid I cannot help you, because it's probably a Sun problem. But I can help you with identifiing of that problem Michal Vyskocil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

But I can help you with identifiing of that problem In the mean time, a colleague of mine made a similar test, and all those java applets work for him. He's already on 11.1 (and 64bit instead of 32), but he's using the same version of Firefox and Java.
This leads me to believe that it could be more of a configuration / user environment issue than a software compatibility issue. Do you know of a way to get an output of any error message the java plugin might issue, similar to those you would get in your terminal when starting a local java app through the command line ? Maybe it's just a classpath issue. Any other troubleshooting tips are welcome. TIA Cheers. Bye. Ph.

To answer my on post (once again), this appears to be a side effect of the "AdBlock+" Firefox plugin. It looks like the problem started when AdBlock went from 0.9 to 1.0. HTH Cheers. Bye. Ph.
