Applets worked for me after installing java 1.4.2 via the ports tree,
mozilla-firefox through the packages tree and changing my settings in
login.conf.

Going off your error message above, I would guess you are missing a file
in your java/firefox installation or the permissions are wrong.

Here is my file count:

$ find /usr/local/jdk* | wc -l
    2719
$ find /usr/local/mozilla-firefox/ | wc -l
     632

You can find to look for files missing world-read permission. See the
man pages for more details.

If all else fails, follow up on Josh's advice on using gdb

Good luck,
Keith Richardson
