Jeff, I'm interested in getting our college to use Moodle as well, so I'll be interested to see whether this can be resolved.
I checked on my MacBook (logging in as guest on a site in the UK - http://moodle.yeovil.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=63) and was able to reproduce what you observed. Jmol loaded the molecules just fine on Safari as well as IE and Firefox under WinXP (Parallels), but failed for Firefox on the OS X. They are using Jmol 11.0.RC4, so I don't think it is a Jmol version issue. For those of you with more knowledge of the internal workings of Jmol, the Java console gives the following: FileManager opening http://moodle.yeovil.ac.uk/file.php/63/caffeine.xyz error opening http://moodle.yeovil.ac.uk/file.php/63/caffeine.xyz unrecognized file format for file http://moodle.yeovil.ac.uk/file.php/63/caffeine.xyz I would guess it's a Moodle configuration issue. Concerning the Java embedding plug-in, it should be included as part of all recent versions of Firefox for OS X. FYI, if you do change Jmol versions and you want to use Firefox on OS X, make sure to get a recent version (11.1.10 or later) that fixes a slightly annoying jumpiness when rotating or zooming molecules.
