Yes, I can replicate it on a fully-patched Windows XP with the latest Sun/Oracle Java plug-in, using the steps from Comment 0. I previously replicated it with Plug-in v6u20. The trigger is clearly Firefox 3.6.14, not a specific JRE or Windows version.

As you can see below, the URL is *not* malformed. It *is* relative, which is valid as far as I know. Relative URLs should be resolved relative to the codebase of the applet; the default codebase if not specified is the document codebase (as you would expect).

From the console:

Java Plug-in 1.6.0_24
Using JRE version 1.6.0_24-b07 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
User home directory = C:\Documents and Settings\tjc
