Bug description:
I was not able to use simple examples from java.sun.com. Latter on I tried few other examples, all failed. This is the same with Firefox 3.0.1 and Konqueror.
Starting from command line javaws brings certificate windows. I have no clue what to do with this.
I was able to open one sample application when starting
javaws -nosecurity -about
Two of the samples opened jDiskReport and jPathReport. Other trow an exception.

I am using:
Firefox 3.0.1
java version "1.6.0_06"
