Selecting Proxmox Web Interface console for a container causes Firefox to crash. These are the messages from Firefox:

Hi, do you use Ubuntu ?

If yes, Ubuntu is shipped by default with openjdk java version and not sun version

1. Add the Canonical partner repository.
   sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
2. Install Sun Java JRE.
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-plugin
3. Update system defaults to prefer Sun Java over OpenJDK.
   sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
   sudo update-alternatives --set javaws /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/javaws
   sudo update-alternatives --set mozilla-javaplugin.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/*/libnpjp2.so
4. If that fails, manually choose them from a list. Always choose the option containing “java-6-sun”.
   sudo update-alternatives --config java
   sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
   sudo update-alternatives --config mozilla-javaplugin.so
5. Restart Firefox.

Hi Spirit,
Thanks a lot for the advice. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and OpenJDK along with the Icedtea plugin. Switching to Sun Java resolved the problem.

FYI - I read where Oracle (Sun) Java 6 is no longer available to be distributed by Ubuntu, because of a license issue and that Oracle Java 7 is probably at this time not as fit for general use.
