Description mxp1 2004-11-08 02:51:22 UTC 
In many (at least since 0.8) versions of firefox I cannnot login to my netbanking. The javascript console this is due to a failure in finding a function located in an applet (jar file). 
This happens only if I run firefox a normal user.
As root everything works fine. If have tried to remove ~/.mozilla but that did not change anything.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.login as normal user
2.goto a website (e.g. www.netbanking.at) that tries to locate a function in a applet
3.JavaScript Console reports an error

Actual Results:  
JavaScript  Console reports an error and website is not working properly

Expected Results:  
JavaScript Console not to report any error
Website to work

Works for me with 1.0-r2

As root, try

    chmod -R a+rX /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox

Not much else I can suggest.  You can re-open if it still doesn't work for you with 1.0-r2, but if you do, please include emerge --info as is requested in the bug entry form.
