A simple applet with different java component (JLabel, JSplitPane, JButton), is not visible on the screen in Firefox 3.0. In the status bar a message is displayed "Applet <applet Name> started", but on screen applet is not visible. This works fine on previous version of Firefox 2.0.0.11 and on safari, on the MAC with same JRE.
To make the applet visible we need to resize the Firefox browser. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Attached a zip file for sample applet.
1. Unzip the zip file in any folder.
2. Open Firefox 3.0 browser.
3. Open the .html file in Firefox.

Applet will be loaded but it will not be visible.
Actual Results:  
Applet is not visible on the screen.

Expected Results:  
Applet has to be visible on the screen.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

Does it also happen with a spoofed user agent string?
I could have sworn that the applet didn't start before I spoofed it to Firefox 2, but now the applet also works with the original user agent string.

Ah well, I think I just tested Firefox 3.1.

Comment 4

[Ria Klaassen (not reading all bugmail)]

I just retested on Windows Vista and it works fine with the latest 3.0 build so one can ignore comments 1 and 2.

It dose not work on Macintosh. I have tested on different firefox versions it dosen't work from Firefox 3.0 RC1. On windows platform it works fine.

Please verify this bug.

This applet works fine for me on OS X in Firefox 3 and today's Firefox
1.9.0-branch nightly (what will become Firefox 3.0.2).

No Java applets work on OS X in current mozilla-central nightlies (on
the trunk, aka the 1.9.1-branch, what will become Firefox 4).  But
that's a separate issue.  See bug 435334 and bug 444963.

I'll attach a screenshot in my next message.

I tested on OS X 10.5.4.  I'm using Java version J2SE 5.0, which is
the default.

Comment 11

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

I tested this using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070206 Firefox/3.0.1, which is the next release coming up, running with JRE version noted in Comment 9 and the test applet renders fine.

Comment 12

[Bhavesh Patel]

Still applet is not visible on version 3.0.1 with the same JRE.
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070206 Firefox/3.0.1

Comment 13

[Koen Brants]

Not fixed on my configuration:

Installed JRE 1.5.0_13

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U ; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv: 1.9.0.1) 
Gecko/2008070206
Firefox/3.0.1

Reproducible: always.

I'll verify the same configuration as mentioned in comment #11

Comment 14

[José Jeria]

This seems to be a Tiger issue only. See comment 9 and comment 13.

Comment 15

[Koen Brants]

Yes, seems to be a Tiger only issue. 

Can this problem be confirmed from the Mozilla side ? 

So far - see Comment 11 - it was only said to work, while both Bhavesh - see comment 12 - and me still encounter this problem. 

Comment 16

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

Do you still see this problem using the most recent versions of all components (application, plugins and add-ons)?

If you do not, please close the bug with resolution set to WORKSFORME. If problem was caused by add-on or non-mozilla code please use INVALID resolution.
If you do still see the problem, please comment in the bug.
