//Java Code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class JGreet4 extends JApplet implements ActionListener
{
    Container con = getContentPane();
    JLabel greeting = new JLabel("Greetings!");
    Font bigFont = new Font("Times Roman", Font.ITALIC, 24);
    JLabel firstLabel = new JLabel("Please enter your first name:");
    JLabel lastLabel = new JLabel("Please enter your last name:");
    JTextField firstField = new JTextField("", 10);
    JTextField lastField = new JTextField("", 10);
    JButton viewButton = new JButton("View Greeting");
    FlowLayout flow = new FlowLayout();
    public void init() 
    {
        greeting.setFont(bigFont);
        con.add(greeting);
        con.setLayout(flow);
        con.add(firstLabel);
        con.add(firstField);
        con.add(lastLabel);
        con.add(lastField);
        con.add(viewButton);
        viewButton.addActionListener(this);
        firstField.requestFocus();
    }
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent thisEvent)
    {
        String firstName = firstField.getText();
        String lastName = lastField.getText();
        greeting.setText("How are you, " + firstName + " " + lastName + "?");
    }
}


HTML Page (TestJGreet4.html):
<html>
    <object code="JGreet4.class" width="450" height="200">
    </object>
</html>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile the example java code above (javac JGreet4.java)
2. open firefox 3.0 and point to the local file (TestJGreet4.html)
3. 
Actual Results:  
nothing displays at all

Expected Results:  
a JApplet page

simply replacing the "object" tag with an identical "applet" tag works without issues, but is deprecated code, example below:
HTML Page (TestJGreet4.html):
<html>
    <applet code="JGreet4.class" width="450" height="200">
    </applet>
</html>

Closing since now after whiteboard closeme date and no reply to last comment.

Please reopen/comment with further info, if you still see this issue with Firefox 3.6.13 or later, with a clean profile and the latest version of the plugin.

If you wish, you can also try to reproduce in Firefox 4 Beta 8 or later:
