Description Piscium 2010-09-27 16:38:48 UTC
Description of problem:

Firefox IcedTea plugin cannot run Java applet

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

42.b18.fc13

How reproducible:

Always (on my PC 32 bits). There is a report that this issue also affects 64 bits F13 version.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to this website: 
http://www.fxstreet.com/rates-charts/forex-charts/?id=eurusd
  
Actual results:

Java Applet does not start.

Expected results:

Java Applet starts, showing a moving chart with Euro-Dollar exchange rate in real time.

Additional info:

This did also not work with F12, so it is not a new bug. I never tested with older versions (F12 was my first Fedora).

This works if I install the Sun Java Firefox plugin, whether I, in my Java preferences, choose IcedTea or Sun Java. 

This tells me that the problem is in the plugin, not the main IcedTea VM.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2011-05-31 12:27:55 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '13'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Updated version to F14 as the bug report would otherwise expire since F13 is going EOL.

The bug still exists with java-1.6.0-openjdk version 52.1.9.7.fc14.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 17:54:03 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.
