[KARMIC]Firefox 3.5.4 can't run java applets

[Xavi]

Binary package hint: firefox

I can't run java applets in firefox 3.5.4 (after I upgraded from jaunty to karmic)
This page http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml shows a grey box, with no content, and I've followed the steps there: I have sun java 1.6.0.15 b13 of the applet.

Sometimes, visiting pages with java applets, like the one from java.com cited above, freezes the whole firefox, which I have to close and restart to keep working.
