Blast. I just checked up on the official Sun bug report, and came across this on the Sun forum:

I hope this isn't true, because it will be a while before Firefox 3 is widely deployed.
Also, people seem to be discussing the SocketPermission() errors with regards to JavaScript LiveConnect. I know for a fact that the standard Java API causes the problem too on some servers. It's not just a LiveConnect problem.
If my own server had this problem, I could test this more thoroughly. I have no idea why some servers are affected, and some are not, but I do think that the LiveConnect issue is only a side-effect, and not the core of the problem.
I noticed on your products page where you mentioned Sun claimed to have fixed bug. FYI, I am using the latest version 6, update 6 and still have the issue with socket permission errors. I have to ammend my java POLICY file to use Firefox.
