Problem with firefox 11 and jre 1.6.0_31
Hi, I have a problem with firefox 11 and jre 1.6.0_31, if you open a page (using window.open) and this page contains a signed applet embedded, the object window.opener refers to the self page, but if this page doesn't have an applet, the window.opener refers to the correct page.
This works fine on IExplorer 9 and jre 1.6.0_31 or firefox 10 with jre 1.6.0_29 and with older versions of firefox.

Hi, This forum is focused on end user support. You can try looking for documentation on our developer site - https://developer.mozilla.org/ or try asking questions in a place like stack overflow - http://stackoverflow.com/ Sorry for the inconvenience.
I have raised a bug report here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747542
Hopefully some Dev will fix this :D
The bug report didn't appear to match the problem, so I tried to create a ticket myself as well. Please please fix
The problem occured since FF11. It is still there in version FF13. Is there any known workaround?
The only workaround I can think of currently is to place the applet in a frame -or- iframe, while parent frame maintains the proper reference to window.opener. Then change your calls to use parent.opener
