Java plugin causing Firefox to crash

I installed the newest Java plugin today and it asked me to restart Firefox. Now it crashes as soon as I open it. It will not open in Safe Mode because it won't stay open for more than half a second. I tried re-installing it and restarting my computer and it's having the same problem. I can't open about:crashes because it won't stay open.

Make sure that you've installed the 32 bit Java version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

Latest Flash plugin causes firefox to crash when printing

Firefox will crash anytime I attempt to print a webpage. It doesn't happen in safemode. Disabling the Adobe Flash Plugin removes the problem. The Flash Plugin is the current version from adobe.

Tylerdowner,
Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash. No change. The only thing that seems to consistently resolve the problem is disabling the Flash plugin.
I tried creating a new profile, but when I transfer the data suggested in this:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
I get an error window when opening firefox with the new profile ...something about security settings not working correctly...but I can print every time even though the Flash plugin appears to be installed and enabled. So I assume there is some kind of problem with my current profile. Any suggestions on how to find and correct it or a way to get most of my data into a new profile...that works...would be appreciated.

Sync plugin causes firefox to crash on startup.

After I install the sync plugin, firefox crashes on startup. Firefox will work in safe-mode. Furthermore firefox will run once in normal mode after being in safe-mode, but then revert back to crashing until the next safe-mode execution.
I have 4 computers running firefox w/ sync and only one of them displays this problem.

I have uninstalled and then installed the sync plugin.
I have uninstalled and the installed firefox.
I have run firefox -profile-manager and created a new profile.
Thank you for the info regarding the .so and and log file.
When firefox crashes nothing is appended to the log file. So I started looking at the access times on WeaveCrypto.so. When firefox successfully starts in normal mode, the access time on the .so in the x86_64 directory is set. However, when firefox crashes the access time does not get set (ie. WeaveCrypto.so is never accessed.)
I am still confident that this has something to do the extension Firefox Sync 1.5.1 since if it is uninstalled or disabled everything works perfectly. On a side note, this problem is not new to this computer it has occurred with all versions of the extension starting at (I think) 1.3.
It does not appear to be an extension conflict. The crashes still occur if I disable every extension except Firefox Sync.

Java plugin for firefox

Hi All !
I hope this is the right forum. I have installed java plugin for firefox
I try the website javatester.org and I get a message saying:
Your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running.
If I understand this correct this is not a firefox message but a java message
so...
I have used the java control panel and added the site to the site list
I also lowered the security settings to medium
Restarted the browser and tried again but no luck, what am I missing ?
Appreciate your feedback !
Thanks
Magnus

Hi,
Did you activate the JDK java for your browser in the java plugin config.

Google Reader comments cause Firefox to crash.

Clicking the link to add a comment to a Google Reader entry causes Firefox to crash unexpectedly. I've only had this problem since the 3.6.12 update. So far as I can tell, I don't have any problematic add-ons, and my browser is up to date.

This can be problem with one of the fonts that is used on that page and that is corrupted.
You can use the System File Checker to check if font files are missing or corrupted.

Opening website "this american life" in firefox 4.0.1 causes firefox to crash, but the same site opens and streams radio shows just fine in IE. Suggestions?

I am trying to stream radio shows through the website for This American Life. As soon as I open the site and click on a link, I get the message about an unresponsive script. The next click to tell it to continue or ignore causes Firefox to crash -- the fade to white/not responding thing. The same site runs just fine on IE.

Is Java 10.15.2.3 causing Firefox to crash?

Firefox keeps crashing when trying to open a Java applet. We have uninstalled and re-installed Java, tried older versions of java, uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, tried older version of Firefox, updated plug-ins, enables and disabled different plug-ins, and tried every other troubleshooting suggestion we could find, but we have yet to be able to open a Java applet without Firefox crashing. This problem is only with Firefox, it does not happen with Chrome or IE.

Have you checked you addons?
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

Java plugin for Firefox and Chromium just not working

Hi Arch Users
I have been suffering with the IcedTea-Web for a while now. My banking service (in their stroke of genius) use java on there online service. So a problamatic plugin means that I am not able to use the website while on Linux.
The issue is not specific to the bank's website. Doing the following is also problematic:
1. Go to www.java.com
2. Click on "Do I have Java?"
3. Click on Verify Java Version
4. Chromium does nothing after setp 3, Firefox has a small notification (bottom corner) saying Applet Started but nothign really happens (waited for 20min).
Searching the Forums, showed people with similar problems with an older plugin. An idea I did get was to use the latest branch and compile it. So I changed the PKGBUILD to download the latest using:
hg clone http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea-web
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=${_jvmdir} \
--datarootdir=/usr/share \
--with-jdk-home=${_jvmdir} \
--with-firefox=/usr/bin/firefox \
--with-chromium=/usr/bin/chromium
So currentely my FireFox reports the IcedTeaWeb as: IcedTea-Web Plugin (using IcedTea-Web 1.4pre+r6e622e87010e). Unfortunately the issue remains.
Please can anyone suggest me a way to overcome this issue. Currentely I have to use VirtualBox to run a browser in Windows (very very painful)!
A while back I did contact the bank, informing them of the issue was met with a simple "We dont support Linux".
Cheers!
J

Firefox gui element capture plug in keeps causing Firefox to crash and it won't open certain windows. Any idea why?

I disabled extensions per Firefox instructions and discovered that 'firefox gui element capture plug in 1.0' is the one causing my problems. Problems being Firefox either crashes or refuses to open an additional window, and then crashes.

I am not sure why this started happening, however please update to version 32.0.3 when its available.
The places we can troubleshoot is in the Applications menu under preferences.
*[[Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]
If you set it to pdf.js viewer as default does it not show up?

CF 8.0.1 Enterprise Build 3080
I had moved the Java SE 6 to the top in both Plugin and Applications. The
correct version is showing in the terminal window. See below.

Any suggestions?

Hi, Colin,
My apologies but I forgot to ask 2 questions: (1) What kind of Mac you have
(Intel or PowerPC)? (2) What version of CF are you running and what installer
did you choose (8 or 8.0.1, 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.)?
To start, try the following:
1. Normally you'd shut CF down first ... but that's not necessary for you
2. Open Java Preferences again
3. Select Java SE 6 and move it (drag) to the top spot in both section (Applet
Plugin and Applications)
4. Open Terminal
5. Type java -version (you should see 1.6.0_13 as the new version)
6. Try to start CF again
This may not work (I've had issues with it) but it's technically how it's
supposed to work. With the Java Preferences utility, you're visually setting a
default JVM (you can do it with commands in Terminal but this is much faster
and easier).
If CF still won't start, look for the jvm.config file in your CF application
folder (try /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin or
/Applications/ColdFusion8/runtime/bin -- the latter is where a jvm.config file
is on my machine for a particular version of CF that's installed similar to
yours). You can override the JVM in this file but, hopefully, that won't be
necessary!
Best,
Craig

32-bit flash and java plugins freeze firefox and gnome on 64-bit linux

I have installed FC13 64-bit and am running 32-bit firefox 3.6.8 so that I can run flash plugin.
When I start 32-bit firefox 3.6.8 and go to site with flash or java applet, firefox locks up my gnome desktop necessitating a reboot of my computer.
Firefox 3.6.8 32-bit
Flash 10.1r82
Java jdk 1.6.0_15 32-bit
I have used a similar configuration on 32-bit FC13 with 32-bit Firefox 3.6.8 and everything works fine. No lockups.

Hi!
I finally solved this problem. The 32-bit libflashplugin required a 32-bit libcurl library that is not installed by default on 64-bit linux systems (at least not on Fedora). Once I installed 32-bit libcurl libs, flash and java plugins starting magically working.
In my opinion, 64-bit Fedora has done a poor job with 32-bit compatibility viz a viz 32-bit libs. I will submit an improvement ticket to Fedora folks about installing more 32-bit libs on 64-bit distros.

[SOLVED] Can't Find IcedTea7 Java Plugin for Firefox

Hello everybody,
I'm new to Arch (have used Linux for some time but never got too deep into configurations and such). I've always just used proprietary versions of Java in the past, even on Linux, but now that I have a really cutomized Arch box, I'd like to try and support OpenJDK+IcedTea.
I followed the Wiki instructions by installing jre7-openjdk, jdk7-openjdk, and icedtea-web-java7 packages. All I want is to link to the plugin for firefox. However, I don't actually see the .so plugin file anywhere, nor do I know how to see where pacman installs things.
I have a folder /usr/share/icedtea-web/ that contains the files about.jar, about.jnlp, netx.jar, and plugin.jar.
I remember .jar files are Java archives, but I actually have no idea what to do with them or how to use them as I'm not too familiar with Java (but I do run browser applets using the plugin).
I apologize for my noobness in this, but can anybody help me figure out how to find or acquire or extract the .so plugin file for firefox?
Thanks,
Dave

Great, thank you so much! Actually, it was already fixed before I read your reply, but it's still informative (I wasn't sure how to find file lists for pacman packages).
I just removed and reinstalled all the java packages and it worked. I might have done it in the wrong order or something when I did it the first time. I wasn't sure if the web test on the Java website checked for the Oracle plugin specifically or just a valid JRE implementation, but it worked, so I guess OpenJDK is working great so far.

Using Java Plugin within Firefox on a cd with zero installation?!?

Hi,
is there any way to get firefox (firefox mobile or portable version) together with a java plugin on a cd such that it can be used by systems even if they have not installed any java themselves.
I think it might be possible on linux systems, putting both the jre and firefox (mobile) on a cd and creating a symlink within the plugins folder that links to the jre directory on the cd. But on Windows this won't work because of the lack of symlinks and the required registry entries.
But nevertheless is there any way to get this accomplished on windows platforms?
As far as I understand the plugin mechanism on windows (please correct me if that is not the case), the plugin dll to be put into firefox plugin folder somehow tells firefox where to actually find the jre, whereby this location is resolved via the corresponding windows registry entry. Might it be possible to write another plugin dll version that just does not look for the registry entry but just takes the jre location out of a possible hardcoded path? But where to get the sources of the default plugin dll?
Or do you know any other way that must not include any installation or change/addition of registry entries on the clients???
