I get a ClassFormatError in Java Console when starting the process editor with Firefox 3.x. What can I do to avoid this error?
This is a known problem of Firefox 3.x. If third party cookies are forbidden, these cookies are not used during communication between applet and server. The getJar request returns the login page which causes in a ClassFormatError. For solving this problem either allow third party cookies or enter an exception at the cookie settings for the server. Further information can be found on Mozilla’s support page. A ClassFormatError can also occur when Firefox 3.6 in combination with an older Java plugin is used. In this case please update your Java plugin!
