Changes in steps and problem that we have faced.

Applet gets loaded sucessfully but the problem that we faced is : when we call any applet's method from javascript it gives :
basic: Joined applet thread ...
<<< ProxyClassLoader: defined LiveConnectProxy class. >>>
<<< Here're the permissions you've got: >>>
<<< java.security.Permissions@23e9b7 (
 (java.io.FilePermission  read)

Problem is related to LiveConnectProxy class, our applet is Signed applet so that is not the issue.
Also we have tried with JavaEmbeddingPlugin.bundle and MRJPlugin.plugin but we coudnt find any solution.

It would be great if you suggest us some way to overcome this problem.

Note: our applet is working properly in IE/Firefox on Windows and in Safari MAC.
Problem is only with Firefox browser in MAC OS.
