When calling a javascript from applet this JSException is thrown: No such method "methodName" on JavaScript object

I've installed the latest JRE (1.7.0_13) and it works in other browsers, so something has happend in Firefox 18 (I've tested 18.0.1 and 18.0.2 with the same exception). If using JRE 1.7.0_11 (with 1.7.0_13 uninstalled) it works fine.

The call from Applet is like this (using netscape.javascript.JSObject):

JSObject window = JSObject.getWindow(theObject);
 window.call( "methodName", new Object[] {});

The method "methodName" is available since it works in other browsers but for the information the methods are registered before the Applet is started via this call:

public static native void registerJSNIfunctions(Object theObject) /*-{
  parent.methodName= function(s){
    theObject.methodName2(s);
  }
  ;
}-*/;

What has happend?

A good place to ask advice about web development is at the MozillaZine "Web Development/Standards Evangelism" forum.

The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
