Also there are a number of PASSES with FF 3.0 exist: SLES 11, Solaris10 x64 ( 6u16 )


Steps to reproduce:
1. Download & Install Firefox 3.6 Beta 1 from https://developer.mozilla.org. Choose which platform Linux or Windows.

2. Install JRE (any should do, 6u16, 6u17 or 6u18). For Linux you will have to manually register new-plugin.

3. Enable "Show Console" in JCP.

4. Launch the Firefox 3.6 Beta 1 browser and browse to the following URL
# http://jqa.ireland.sun.com/jqa6/dtf/dtf_ws/suites/deployment_6_UR_int_ws_MERCURIAL.WEEK46/deployment/src/plugin/UnitTests/UnitTests/6796470-II/
# Click the following file: CookieAppletTest.html
# Click "Run" when "Warning - Security" pop-up appears.

Check the java console. You should get "Test failed: "Cookie" not found in cookie map. With Firefox 3.5.5 this test case passes.

NOTE: You will see some additional errors related to "com.sun.stl.Result". Please ignore these as these are related to automation (we are running automated test manually).

This test fails with Firefox 3.6 Beta 1 when run against 6u18, 6u17, 6u16 - Cookie" not found in cookie map
This test passes with Firefox 3.5.5 when run against 6u18, 6u17, 6u16.

Only Linux and Windows platforms tested using Firefox 3.6 Beta 1 (no Solaris version available).

Marking as regression, albeit a browser to browser regression.
