Java SE 7 not compatible with Firefox 6.0.2
Hello, I recently noticed that one of the Java applets I often use was suddenly no longer working with Firefox. I am currently running Firefox 6.0.2 and Java SE 7.
I have tried the "Test Java" applet and it displayed that my Java was running normally. This leads me to believe that this issue is limited to certain Java applets, as some work while others don't. Any help/suggestions is much appreciated.
I have posted some screenshots to further clarify any and all issues I am currently experiencing:

Any help is much appreciated. I'm not sure if this is an issue on Firefox's part or Java's part, but again, any help is much appreciated.
Any help/suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated.
I am seeing Error Message (screenshot attached) when i open the links to your screenshots
Regarding your problem with Java, see this:
-> Using the Java plugin with Firefox
- https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using%20the%20Java%20plugin%20with%20Firefox

Check and tell if its working.

Hmm, that's very odd. All of the pictures are marked as "Public" on my ImageShack account and I am able to see them even after logging out of my account. Regardless, I uploaded the screenshots directly onto this post, so hopefully there won't be any more issues with the screenshots. The screenshots are listed in the same order (left to right) as listed in my first post.
Java is seemingly operating normally, but the issue seems to be limited to certain applets, at least as far as I can tell. The problem is that I have no idea why Java is able to display some applets while unable to display others.

Did you find any useful information regarding your problem in the links mentioned in my last reply ???

To answer your question mha007, no, those links did not provide any helpful information. I had already read up on any information regarding Java and their compatibility with Firefox.
I already knew that this was not an issue with either Java or Firefox, since my Java was working normally albeit unable to display certain Java applets. My question was why Java was not able to display those certain applets.
Apparently many other people had been experiencing the exact same issue that I was experiencing with that Java applet. The website released this statement explaining the issue with their Java applet:
"Sun/Oracle basically pulled the rug out from anyone using this version of JOGL (the OpenGL library we use) by replacing their specially signed JARs with unsigned versions."
This issue has officially been solved as I now understand the reason for my issues with Java and Firefox.
Although it should be noted that it is the responsibility of the Java applet's website to update their applet in order to be compatible with the current version of Java. The website I was experiencing the issue with is currently doing exactly that, which effectively resolves my issue.

Good to know.
