I have a Swing applet you can succefull call through this link

The problem since I changed from firefox 3.5.7 to 3.6 that the applet not longer work in my sidebar. The plugin you can find here. After installation search the "yellow star button".
http://globallinx.dnsalias.com/download/firefox_globallinx_signed_plugin.xpi

I see only a black screen in my sidebar. 

I have testet and find out that it's nothing have to do with the xpi-plugin. Only the java-plugin don't loading successful in the sidebar of firefox3.6

In firefox 1.x till 3.5.7 it works fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. call http://www.globallinx.de/globallinx_home/product/globallinx/appletconvsigned.html (it's worked)
2. The same applet in the firefox-plugin don't work since 3.6
http://globallinx.dnsalias.com/download/firefox_globallinx_signed_plugin.xpi

Actual Results:  
black screen occurred since firefox 3.6 in 3.5.7 it worked perfect.

Expected Results:  
It must load an swing-applet. A loggin-screen must be appear.

Only don't work since firefox 3.6 In firefox 3.5.7 it worked!

I used java 6 update 18 JDK and JRE

It doesn't work under windows7 32 and 64 bit System. Other I have not testet.
Possibly related to bug 529263.
Depends on: 529263
The plugin which since 3.6 and 3.7 (Alpha4) don't work you can find here

http://www.globallinx.de/download/firefox_globallinx_signed_plugin.xpi

It works only in 3.5x

It don't work by all applets which will be integrated in the sidebar!
Is this a content sidebar or a chrome sidebar?  For the latter, see bug 534355.
Depends on: 534355
This is a chrome sidebar. I have test it with Firefox4 beta. It doesn't work too

Alternate you can do the some steps like described in 529263



1. Bookmark http://www.fluffycat.com/javasource/helloworldswingappletrunner.html (or an arbitrary Flash site)
2. Open Library, select the bookmark and check "Load this bookmark in the
sidebar".
3. Click the bookmark to load in the sidebar

It doesn't work with Firefox 3.6/3.7/4 beta and trunk while it works with 3.5.x and
Windows builds.

Hope somebody solved this nerver ending story or say that they won't solve this bug.
In Point one it would mean Applet Site not Flash Site
Ok Comment 7 would work in firefox4 beta.
With the tip in 534355 it worked.
