Hi Everyone,

Let me clarify ...

Starting from JDK 6u10 Java has two different plugins -
old, single VM plugin and new multi-vm one.

Starting from FF3.6 api for old plugin had been removed from FireFox.

So the only way to make javaplugin working with FF3.6 - update ports to 
6u10+ (e.g. 6u18)


As temp workaround you can use javaws, if applet doesn't use JavaScript 
it should work as webstart app with no changes.

-Dmitry
