I'm able to reproduce this problem in Firefox 1.5 for OS X (which bundles
version 0.9.5 of the Java Embedding Plugin) and also in Firefox 1.0.7 for OS X
(when used together with the latest version (0.9.5+b) of the Java Embedding
Plugin).

I will try to fix this problem in the next release of the Java Embedding
Plugin.

I should mention that your URL doesn't work (it doesn't load your sample
applet), and that your download (attachment 204603 [details]) only works if you edit
javabug.html's APPLET tag to get rid of its "codebase".

Thanks!

I changed the above URL, now it works.

I've just released a new version of the Java Embedding Plugin (0.9.5+c) that
resolves this issue:

http://javaplugin.sourceforge.net/

To test the fix you'll need to follow the instructions in the JEP's Readme to
install the two parts of the JEP to your /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
directory.  But you'll also need to remove the old copy of the JEP that's
bundled with Firefox 1.5.  To do this, delete the following two files from the
Contents/MacOS/plugins/ directory of your copy of Firefox 1.5:

  JavaEmbeddingPlugin.bundle
  MRJPlugin.plugin
