1) When trying to open a html page that contains code based on LiveConnection technology, the whole Eclipse platform locks.

I haven't tried this yet, but I have a guess as to what is happening.  The browser probably tries to load a JVM when encountering LiveConnect.  So trying to load a JVM inside another JVM  leads to a crash/lockup.

In order to fix this, the LiveConnect code in the browser would need to be updated to first look for an existing JVM in the process, before trying to load a JVM.

2) When trying to open a regular web page, www.google.com for instance, although proxy configuration in Eclipse is correct (Preferences -> General -> Network Connections), the page could not be loaded. The following error message is shown: "The connection was refused when attempting to contact www.google.com".

The latest versions of ATF use the SWT Browser class, which does not yet support proxy configuration.  See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=82295.
