Mozilla uses Apple's MRJ, which, in turn, uses Symantec's JIT compiler.
The setup is not the same as the Communicator 4.x build-in Symantec
implementation.

There's no Sun-branded Java implementation for Mac. The Apple-branded
implemention is as close to the Sun implementation as you can get on Mac.
The major problem is that MRJ on Mac Classic is outdated. To use an
up-to-date JDK/JRE version, you need Mac OS X.

Do you mean the <embed> tag? (Tags aren't commands.)
Using the <embed> tag would be totally backwards. The <embed> tag is not
part of HTML. Originally, the <applet> tag was used but <object> is
supposed to replace it.
