This still need to be checked with MAC OS X, but issue is reproducible with Windows 7 (64-bit) Test Environment: Windows 7 (64-bit) Firefox 38 and 40.0.03 and IE 11 JRE versions: 8u51, 8u60, 8u66 ea b02, and 9 ea b81. Checked this for above listed versions and could reproduce the issue as stated in the report (8u60 and FF 40+ crashes the browser). The issu eis restricted to FF version 40+ Steps to Reproduce (FF 40+): 1. Open test vm applet at: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml 2. Once the applet loads fine, open another instance of testvm applet in a new tab. 3. As the applet loads, close the first tab. 4. Observer in the second tab the the plugin crashes along with the browser. Result: 8u51: OK 8u60: FAIL 8u66 ea b02: OK 9 ea b81: OK The issue need to be checked with MAC OS X. Moving this up for dev. team analysis.
