OK. The issue is with the embedding plugins and OS 10.6, as my issue was. There is no workaround that I know of. The author of the plugin is working on a revision, but it is not clear when that will be available and if it will be useful for current versions of firefox. The beta versions of Firefox 4 have a place marker where the plugin directory ought to be, and no plugins. I do not know if they plan to implement plugins and what effect that will have down the road. I am about to edit my index page to tell Mac users to avoid firefox for my tutorials for the time being.
I believe the browser warning for Firefox 4 is from Jmol.
