I can confirm that this is a problem.
The java applet appears to load but doesn't show anything. It appears to be a problem with Sun Java 1.6 and Firefox 3.0 with regards to Pogo.com games specifically.
I tried loading the 1.5 and OpenJdk offerings but Pogo detects that they are the wrong or incompatible versions.
Java games work fine on sites like Yahoo! Games, so it isn't a problem with Java and Firefox 3 by itself.
This may be a bigger bug than you realize as a lot of people that I would like to switch to Linux are Pogo.com game addicts. This is a show stopper in the conversion process.
