used JRE plugin version ?
This should be a bug in the plugin itself, did you checked with other browsers ?
btw: wfm on win32 with SM 1.9.1 branch and JRE1.6 U11

plugin version: 1.6 U7
On linux: there is no problem with the same plugin and firefox 2.0.0.19.
On win32: no problem with firefox 3.0.6 and jre 1.6 U11.

Could you please try to upgrade ti 1.6 U12 on linux ?
There is a change between 1.6U7 and 1.6U12, the latest Java is using a new plugin which fixed many issues.

Great, i will will mark this bug wfm because it seems to be a bug in the Java plugin which is already fixed in newer version.
