[Nix-dev] Java support in Firefox?

Hi Lluís,

my browser used to hang when attempting to execute Java applets, but now it
crashes outright. I have no idea when this started to happen, unfortunately.

Yes, this sounds like what I used to see. There's just a black rectangle in
the browser, and when I mess around with the Firefox window system a little,
then it eventually shows garbage.

I also tried to run jbidwatcher, which used to work just fine approx. half a
year ago, but now it crashes, too:

Who is the resident Java guru around here? :-)

Take care,
