Firefox crashes when loading a java applet
On some of our computers the FireFox crashes on every applet call. This error occurs only with JRE 7 Update 4 or newer. It seems that the problem is caused by the JRE (Plugin npjp2.dll).
But the question is, why Firefox crashes due to an error within a plugin?
So far I've tried the following:
- Deinstall & Reinstall FireFox - Clear FireFox Cache + Profile - Deinstall & Reinstall JRE - IE and Opera have no problem

Unfortunately I am not familiar with WinDbg and I don't have the npjp2 symbol file.
Thanks for any help.

Java can't run in a plugin-container process, but runs in the browser and dom.ipc.plugins.java.enabled is false because of that. So if Java crashes then it makes Firefox crash.
Oracle has released a Java update to fix a security vulnerability in Java 7U6 and 6U34 and lower versions that every user should apply.
Please update the Java JRE version to 7U7 or 6U35 because of that security vulnerability in older versions.
See Java Platform > Java SE 7U7 or Java 6U35 (Download JRE)
Thank you for the explanation. Now I understand why the JRE causes FireFox to crash. I have already installed the JRE 7U7. Unfortunately, the error still occurs. Do you know how I can get a debug version of npjp2.dll? So maybe I could find the problem.
