I've tried to freeze it and haven't been able to. I tried http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/new.htm
and made my window small so I could only see a portion of the Jmol
applet. I dragged and clicked some links but nothing froze. I also
tried on one of my own pages with several applets loaded onto one page
again with the window small so I was only seeing portions of applets.
Still no problems. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.6 on an old PowerBook G4
using Safari 4.0 beta. However, I do see the freezing behavior in
Firefox. Seems to happens more with lots of frequent clicking. Also,
it happens very reliably if I click in a window of a different
application so it switches to that application then I switch back to
Firefox. Doing that causes the freeze every time. Resizing the
window unfreezes. Hope this helps. At least it looks like Safari 4
fixes whatever is causing the problem.

OK, I have an idea. Is it possible that the problem only arises when
the page the browser is opening has an applet that is not fully
visible on the page -- down further on the page perhaps, or just a
bit too large? That could be why we've missed this. It looks to me
like the effect is only when the applet is not fully visible.
Thomas, please do the following test: Please reduce the size of your
applet so that appropriately fits the user's screen. I think you
are trying to do that anyway, but it is just a bit too high no
matter what I do with the browser window. Then let us test your page
again.
Others with Macs. Please try setting the window size of your browser
to a smaller window and then open pages that you know should work.
Look for a page where the applet is not fully visible. Start
tapping, dragging, anything to get the refreshes coming. Do you see
the applet freeze? http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/new.htm
is a fine page to try.
I will put out a version of Jmol that sends messages to the Java
console indicating what messages it is getting from the OS and what
state it is in.
