The listed URLs that don't run fail due to the gcjplugin not supporting
Javascript LiveConnect. Work is in progress upstream with the IcedTea
plugin to solve this, and the current test code is doing well.

I don't use Facebook so I can't test. Please start firefox from the
command-line, visit Facebook and try running the applet, and then
atttach here the logged output with the exceptions so we can determine
what the cause of the failure is.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: icedtea-java7-plugin

I am trying to access an applet from http://www.jigzone.com. The applet fails to load with error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
	at sun.applet.PluginMain.start(PluginMain.java:211)
	at sun.applet.PluginMain.main(PluginMain.java:73)


I am running Hardy Alpha 6 (firefox3, icedtea-java7). The applet works just fine on my Gutsy box (firefox2, sun6).

I have attached the complete console output
