Hi Frieda,
This is a issue we are dealing with in Proteopedia as well.

The combination of Firefox version 2 and Java version 1.6.0_03+  (latest
stable release is 1.6.0_05) is more sensitive to security issues.

When I do a reverse DNS lookup on the IP address you gave (64.95.78.91) I
get permaculture.gaiahost.coop.  I'm guessing that this name does not match
the domain name of the website where you are having these problems.  This
mismatch causes the combination of FF2 and Java 1.6.0_03+.  At least that is
how I understand it at the moment, and if anyone wants to correct me I'll be
glad to be corrected.

Regular commands seem to be passed ok to the Jmol applet, but scripts or
files stored on the server throw the error when you try to execute or load
them.  The odd part is that any script or load file commands inside the
original definition of the applet works fine.

Rolf pointed out a message board dealing with the issue in one of his
previous messages I've copied below:


This looks like a problem we are also facing with our "JenaLib Jmol

Viewer" and Firefox. It started with Java version 1.6.0_03.

Since Egon uses 1.6.0_05 I would expect that he will also have the same

"java.security.AccessControlException" problem with the following URL:


http://www.fli-leibniz.de/cgi-bin/3d_mapping.pl?CODE=1deh


I tried other Jmol sites and they worked fine with Java 1.6.0_03. But I

couldn't figure out what makes the difference.

The following thread in the Java forum

"http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5230759"; seems to refer

to this problem. It is suggested there that the problem could be avoided

 by connecting back to the server before any liveconnect calls are made.

But removing any callbacks didn't help with our viewer and I couldn't

detect any other liveconnect calls before loading the PDB file and

script from our server.


As explanation for the difference between InternetExplorer and Firefox I

found the suggestion that the more stringent default security policy of

Firefox is responsible for it.


Regards,

Rolf


Best regards,
Eran

Don't miss this year's exciting event. There's still time to save $100. 
Use priority code J8TL2D2.
