[Bug 285729] [NEW] first applet load asks for temp dir (cancel freeze firefox)

 

Public bug reported:

If I use icedtea6-plugin (openjdk browser plugin) to execute java
applets, the first time (after installing it) I load an applet, it asks
for the temp directory (default is /tmp), with 2 buttons : OK and
cancel.

This question should be removed :
- 99% people don't care about what is the temp directory
- 99% of those who care will choose /tmp

Moreover, there is a problem if you click on cancel : no temp dir is selected.
Firefox takes 100%cpu and no applet can be executed until a kill -9 / restart of firefox, then choosing a temp dir and click on OK.

** Affects: openjdk-6 (Ubuntu)
