Hi Andriy,

Can you please try again with the patch here applied?
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2011-May/014200.html

That patch adds full recursive call support for showDocument() calls,
rather than relying on FF to not make such calls. It should therefore
always work. Please let me know if there are any problems.

Thanks,
Deepak
