Thank you Zhong. After I open Firefox with:

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -jssh

I still get errors trying to use jssh. I believe there is a difference
between Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 in how they allow arguments such as -
jssh. For example, when I try to telnet to the port:

$ telnet localhost 9997
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying fe80::1...
telnet: connect to address fe80::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

When you open Firefox from Terminal, do you have to open a new window
in Terminal for any additional commands? I do. When I open Firefox
with the command above, the Terminal window I am in freezes up until I
quit Firefox. I have never opened applications from Terminal before,
so I am not sure if this is a normal response?

Thanks,
John
