Hi,

I have modified the plugin to use NPN_GetURLNotify instead of
NPN_GetURL. The former is non-blocking, and thus allows the plugin to
continue to service requests.

This should solve the problem in the interim. Andriy, can you please
give it a try?

Instructions to get, build and use the latest icedtea-web are here:

Thanks,
Deepak
