FULL PRODUCT VERSION : java version "1.6.0_12-ea" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-ea-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode, sharing) ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION : Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION : I can't see that there's very much else that's relevant. A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM : Since about Update 12, the Java plugin stops working about 80% of the time after I resume my laptop. The Java icon disappears from the taskbar, and attempts to access Java from within Firefox extensions fail. This is not unique to my machine; other users of my Firefox extension have seen the same problems. STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM : Get a laptop. Install a Firefox extension which uses Java (e.g. http://wiki.modplugin.org, though there are probably simpler ones). Go to a Yahoo group with Freecycle in the name and check that the extension does stuff on screen. Suspend and resume the laptop. Reload a Yahoo groups page. EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR : EXPECTED - Extension does stuff on screen as before. ACTUAL - You'll see an error popup about Java not working. ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR : There's no Java specific error that I can provide - the Java console disappears. REPRODUCIBILITY : This bug can be reproduced often. CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND : Restart Firefox.
