If you try to launch the same applet again it won't start and the java console shows an error message: Exception: Permission denied: null java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied: null at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager$AppletExecutionRunnable.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Exception: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied: null Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Steps to reproduce: Preparation: Install the latest version of java and firefox 3.6.14, open the java control panel and disable caching (general tab) and always show the java console (advanced tab). 1. Go to: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 2. Go to: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 (again) installed" both times Actual Results: Actual result: The applet cannot be started.

Firefox / java applets worked fine until 3.6.13. This bug is severe because there is no workaround but to restart the browser and because all applets are affected. You can reproduce it also by loading http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/demo/applets/DitherTest/example1.html (or any other applet!) twice in a browser session.
I confirm this bug. We have a printing applet of which a preliminary testing version can be accessed here: http://bit.ly/eS3gS1. When the box is green, it's working, when the box stays black (when you revisit the URL), it is not working and you will see very similar errors on your java console as posted by the reporter. Source code is available here: http://bit.ly/fxU3dz.
Having the same issue! Tried uninstalling and re-installing, and all the other steps i would expect...and, nothing. It just sits there, unable to load. For example, this is taken from the Error console: Warning: Error in parsing value for 'filter'. Declaration dropped. Source File: http://game3.pogo.com/room/game/game.jsp?site=pogop&scrn=DarkNation420&rkey=canasta-plcanastasf100&anam=Temporary+Members+Room+024&apid=robotrules&install=true&rspt=13517&ahst=game3.pogo.com&ugifts=0&vmtype=sun&rhst=www.pogo.com&vmver=1.6.0_24&game=canasta&auto=Practice&port=0 Line: 22 And, then this is from Update 26 of the Java Console exception: Permission denied: http://game3.pogo.com/v/11.2.3.37/applet/jvmtest/. java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied: http://game3.pogo.com/v/11.2.3.37/applet/jvmtest/ at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager$AppletExecutionRunnable.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Exception: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied: http://game3.pogo.com/v/11.2.3.37/applet/jvmtest/ Was working PERFECT until the 3.6.14 update earlier today!
