Searching the web, I think I have found a workaround. If firefox is started from the console as:
AWT_TOOLKIT="MToolKit" firefox
looks like java aplets do work.
I have no idea of what is "MToolKit" or "XToolkit" but the environment variable seems to instruct java to use "MToolKit" instead of "XToolKit".
I suppose that the variable can be set permanently in the startup scripts.
