We tried to play a Yahoo! Game the other night and we couldn't get the Java Applet to load. Googling said to use Internet Explorer which is now outdated and antiquated. When attempting to log in to a secure connection with IE on Mac OS X, an error occurs preventing it and thus leaving us with no choice but to give up on playing it.

So, how can we get Java Applets to work with Firefox on Mac OS X?
