I'm not sure, but perhaps as you have 2 java plugins showing in about:plugins, 
maybe Firefox is defaulting to using the iced tea one, which I've found has 
had problems with some sites.

if you type about:config, then scroll down to "plugin.expose_full_path", then 
double click on this line, you should now in about:plugins, see where the 
iced tea one is. Perhaps re-name it, then try the site again, which should 
now be using the one from Sun.

All the best.
