Thanks David-

FWIW, Here are the errors that are reported to the console:

Mar  7 14:02:39 dhcp108 [0x0-0x1c01c].org.mozilla.firefox[347]:  
initialization error: Can't load class netscape/javascript/JSObject

Plugin JEP: JavaScript-to-Java LiveConnect failed -- no security  
manager!

LiveConnect was unable to reflect one or more components of the Java  
runtime.

The blog post below suggests that LiveConnect is going away in Mozilla  
2.0- perhaps they've already crippled it:
