Introduction
Java console can crash in firefox on Ubuntu (and Debian).
Since 10.04, Ubuntu is shipped with openjdk java version and not sun version.
You need Oracle (Sun) Java 6 or 7 version to get the console correctly working.
Solution
shell script to update-sun-jre
- check http://www.duinsoft.nl/packages.php?t=en , there is a shell script and a repository which make the installation of the Oracle (Sun) Java Runtime Environment very easy. I used it on Ubuntu, but it look like it'll work on any Debian based system.
On that link there is information about the java changes that occurred in August 2011.
solution for Ubuntu 12.04 and Oracle Java 7
first method, leaving openjdk installed: http://askubuntu.com/questions/183867/how-do-i-update-oracle-java-7-jdk-and-jre
