Scrolling Java-applet webpages by a keyboard is not working until I switch (the focus) to some other opened program with a text input area, like notepad, notepad c++ or wordpad, and then I get back to Firefox.

Perhaps some Java-applets mistakenly steal a keyboard input's focus from Firefox window? Therefore the bug might be considered as caused by Java-applet, and not by Firefox?
Closing old bugs now that we no longer support the Java plugin.
