Hi, Yes that is very useful. It does in fact appear that the problem is related to the never-ending problems of 64bit firefox with 64bit plugins. I won't use 32bit firefox and Sun only has 64bit java applet plugins for Windows, not for linux.
On Ubuntu, there are two IcedTea plugins for 64bit java applets --- one works with cacao-oj6-plugin and the other is standalone --- and the cacao plugin causes firefox to crash after a few seconds. The standalone icedtea plugin shows the Jmol splash screen with the message "Loading Jmol applet" and an incrementing seconds counter at the bottom. Mine is up to 366 seconds, but no applet. So the issue probably is one for the Jmol people, since cacao/icedtea has worked for me in the past for everything except Jmol.
