It should be mentioned that this only works for i386. There is no
Firefox plugin for x86_64 from Sun.
I solved the IcedTea "Applet not initialized" problem by adding
grant codeBase "http://your.website.here/*" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
}
But in my case, the particular applet still doesn't work, it just
doesn't report any errors.
