[Bug 1171506] [NEW] Unable to run java test applet in chromium, some applets not working in firefox

[Christian Reis]

Public bug reported:

Since Friday, when I updated to the latest icedtea-web package, Java
applets are not working properly for me. This happens in both browsers,
but they behave slightly differently. Here are two scenarios:

1. Chromium loading http://www.java.com/pt_BR/download/testjava.jsp

Using a temporary profile chromium never is able to load the testjava
applet. The question bar appears asking whether to run java, but when I
click always run on this site the box where the plugin output appears
doesn't run. Strangely, reloading the page later fails with a "This
webpage is not available" message.

2. Chromium loading
https://www2.bancobrasil.com.br/aapf/login.jsp?aapf.IDH=sim&perfil=1

Similar symptoms occur here -- the instructions "Aguarde, iniciando o
acesso..." appear at the top of the page, but the login page which
should come after never loads.

In Firefox, I am able to load testjava.jsp, but the banking site, which
is what I really want to get to, never loads. I'll attach an iIcedtea
debug log.
