Bug 502014 – www-client/firefox-bin-26.0 with dev-java/icedtea-bin-6.1.12.7 USE=nsplugin - The Icedtea-Web (using Icedtea-Web plugin has crashed

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Vivek Shah 2014-02-21 17:50:47 UTC]

After I upgraded to Firefox 24.3.0 and subsequently 26.0 (which I am running currently), the icedtea-web plugin provided by icedtea-bin (using +nsplugin USE flag) fails to load. All applets crash with a message saying "The IcedTea-Web (using Icedtea-Web plugin has crashed". The applets work with the Chrome web browser. I checked the plugins page for the two browsers and both point to the same file "/opt/icedtea-web-bin-6/lib64/IcedTeaPlugin.so"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open firefox
2. Access a website which has a Java applet which will be run
Actual Results:  
The applet fails to load and a message appears "The Icedtea-Web (using Icedtea-Web plugin has crashed"

Expected Results:  
The applet should load successfully.

Please retest with a more recent Firefox and icedtea-web-1.6.1.
