[Secure-testing-team] Security, ignore: Random applets fail to load

[Joachim Breitner]

Dear security teams,

please ignore this bug report (#649779), it is not security related, I
selected the tag by accident in reportbug and fixed the mistake in the
editor, but that did not prevent reportbug from CCing you.

Greetings,
Joachim
