Steps to reproduce:
R
Run a simple Java program (a runnable jar file). The Java program code is as following
import java.io.IOException;
public class Main {
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
//this website has a small Java applet inside Runtime.getRuntime.exec("firefox http://javatester.org/version.html"); System.out.println("hello world");
}
}
My JRE (yes, JRE, not JDK) is Oracle JRE 1.6.0_38.
What the program does is essentially opening http://javatester.org/version.html in Firefox. This website has a small Java applet, so performance won't be a problem.
Actual results:
What happens then is that, Firefox is opened, http://javatester.org/version.html is opened, BUT the applet inside the website FAILS to play. The same thing happens if my Java program opens any other website which has applet.

However, if I run "firefox http:// javatester. org/version. html" from command line, everything works perfectly. Similarly, if I open Firefox, then I type http:// javatester. org/version. html at the URL field, everything also works perfectly.
This problem happens in Firefox, but NOT in Chromium (which I installed from your standard repository).
This problem doesn't happen in Oracle Linux distro. I haven't tried in other Linux distros, though.
Expected results:
Open http:// javatester. org/version. html in Firefox
