It seems like the 1.4-2 release of icedtea-web-java7 incorporates the fix mentioned in the bug reports. At least I don't get freezes anymore.
]]>Running 'firefox -safe-mode' from the terminal, and going to http://java.com/en/download/installed.j … =jre&try=1 I get the following message in the terminal:
