Implementing a setup similar to that given at http://support.softartisans.com/kbview_839.aspx results in a very simple test: An applet that exposes a getVersion() method for consumption via Javascript.

The rodsdot.com URL given has a test like this. In Firefox 2, you can see that below "Java enabled" you should get the version and vendor information (iirc). In Firefox 3b5 (and earlier), the javascript fails, reporting that getVersion is not a function.

This is a very, very bad regression as it means all Javascript -> Java interaction is broken.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Implement code from http://support.softartisans.com/kbview_839.aspx and run test
Actual Results:  
Javascript fails complaining there's no getVersion function

Expected Results:  
Expected return value of the Java method
