Description:

Firefox crashes when loading Java applets. I have completely reinstalled Firefox and the JRE, and the problem persists. I received the message "In order to have java applets support in firefox you should install libxtst (pacman -S libxtst)." while reinstalling the JRE, so I reinstalled that package as well.

Additional info:

* package version(s)
extra/firefox 3.0.5-1
community/jre 6u11-1

* config and/or log files etc.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 0xb7cb36d0 (LWP 27662)]
0xb7bdc1f9 in PR_Close () from /usr/lib/libnspr4.so

Steps to reproduce:

Browse to a site with a Java applet. Optionally, one may try loading Firefox through gdb to see the segfault and do further debugging (that is beyond me now).
