The bug referred to in my comment #8 and linked against Mozilla Firefox.

I've got a relatively simply patch in the works, although its a slight
kludge.

In  IcedTeaPluginFactory::StartAppletViewer() it will check the run-time
xulrunner platform version and choose the IID to request (from the one
provided by the 1.9.0 headers, or the explicitly coded 1.9.1 IID).

It should make the patch about 8 lines if everything I've read up on,
and checked with the xulrunner dev's on IRC, proves correct.
