User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b2) Gecko/2007121120 Firefox/3.0b2

I work with SUN Identity Manager and it uses Java applets to display MultiSelect boxes and these do not get displayed at all in firefox, which is very inconvient. Forces me to have to you IE, when I would prefer not to.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
These steps are reproducible if you have the product installed, if needed I am willing to show your developers via a webex or something.
1. Setup SUN IDM
2. In the Admin interface log in and navigate to a page with a MultiSelect box
3. Notice that it does not display and you can no longer use any part of the page because it stops working.
Actual Results:  
The UI element does not display and buttons and all other elements with actions on them no longer work.

Expected Results:  
The UI to display and work properly.

after upgrade from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6 Java applets stopped working

XP 2002 SP3 Java (build 1.6.0_12-b04)

IE Java applets work fine

when attempt to launch Java applet in FF, get brief cursor w hourglass then nada

critical for me, since work from home requires CITRIX application launched by downloaded Java applets
