A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When I browsed to a web site which has a applet, a Java icon appeared on the systray. I double-clicked on it and a dialog window About Java appeared. It had a Close button and I did not push it. Instead, I returned to my Firefox browser windows but it was freezed. I could not use it. Everything on that browser windows was freezed until I used Alt-Tab to switch back to About Java dialog window to close it.

I think it is a Java 1.6 bug.
