Why can't this java applet load in firefox
I've tried everything, I hope someone here can help.
Java is enabled in firefox. I can run nearly every other java applet. This one doesn't load:
http://applet.efxnow.com/STAT_sys/FXGUI.html
I know it uses swing components. I've loaded the japplet class independently, to no avail. I'm not sure why it runs in IE6 and IE7 but not firefox.
How do you debug this? Where do applet loading error messages go? Is there a console or log I can tail?

Regrettably, this approach does not work. Java is never getting invoked as the browser is thinking it is not installed. As I mentioned, java is installed and many other non-swing apps run well on firefox. Nothing shows up in firefox's error console.
I would greatly appreciate some other suggestions.

It's not clear from your posts so far, so I'll start from the basics. Does the java plugin show up when you go to the 'about:plugins' page in firefox? If not, see http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/faq#q2.2 for instructions on enabling it.

I saved a copy of your FXGUI.html page and within the <embed> tag changed this line
type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.2_08"
to this
type="application/x-java-applet"
(i.e., removed the version=...). (I also added a <base href="..."> tag to the header so I could load your classes since I can't put my page on your server :-)).
After that the applet loaded in firefox (running on linux, FWIW). It also worked when I used this line
type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.2"
Note that I don't have the 1.4.2_08 plugin installed; I have 1.5.0_09. So the version string seems like the problem; I don't know the correct syntax for including the 'update number' in the version string. Hopefully the docs cited above can help.
