(Get the code!)
Not loading the applet is correct behavior according to the standards - the URL is invalid so there's no defined way to handle it. Just requesting the URL as it is is an obvious way of being fault tolerant which usually is a good thing for a program. Then it's up to the web server to handle it. If the web server doesn't return the applet file Firefox can't use it - and can't be blamed for that.
One may discuss if replacing "\" by "/" is correct behavior, too, but I don't think that is something to discuss here in the Ubuntu bug tracker as it is not about a bug in Ubuntu - which is why I converted the original bug report to a question.
I suggest we continue further discussion there, and if you convince me that there's something wrong with Firefox' behavior in Ubuntu I'll come back here and change to bug's status to "confirmed" but set it to "invalid" until then.
