Firefox segfaulting on pages w/java applets
I am running Sarge with the stock Debian kernel 2.6.8-2-k7.
Until recently I was using Sun's j2re1.4.2_01, but I have recently
installed jdk1.5.0_06, since I want to teach myself some java. I think
that somewhere, something is confused over the version to use.
I have had Firefox simply die on me when going to some pages (I do not
remember which ones at this time). I could access these pages with
Opera with no problems. I could also switch to another VT, under my
wife's login and access the same page with Firefox and have no
problems. (My wife only recently started using a seperate logon, so it
is possible that her account never used v1.4.2.)
I just tried to run the demo programs included with jdk1.5.0_06 and I
had the same problem. I can run the applets under Opera in my account,
and under Firefox in my wife's account, but NOT with Firefox in my own
account.
If I start Firefox from an xterm I can see that it segfaults when it
tries to access any of these demo HTML pages.
Can anyone give me a clue where to look to determine what is causing
this problem?
