[Bug 258762] Re: Uploading photos in Facebook does not work

 

I can confirm this problem on my hardy system. This is on FF3.0.1 as
bundled with Ubuntu 8.04, using openjdk-6-jre 6b11-2ubuntu2 and icedtea-
gcjwebplugin 1.0-0ubuntu5.

When doing the steps above I also get the certificate trust screen,
click on Run and nothing happens, just a grey rectangle with the FF
status bar saying "Start: applet not initialized" at the bottom.

On closer inspection this could well be an issue with icedtea-
gcjwebplugin though, not openjdk. See bug 199680 which is related to
applets over an ssl connection and seems to be the same problem
