Surprisingly, yes I can. But I cannot start for example this one:

http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/demo/applets/ArcTest/example1.html

And even with the simple applet that works I get ridiculous CPU usage
of firefox:

This makes firefox crash with the output:

betelgeuse:~> firefox3
(process:98515): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
	Using the fallback 'C' locale.
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: NPN_GetValue() wait for reply: Connection closed
*** NSPlugin Viewer  ***
WARNING:(/home/jkim/new/a/nspluginwrapper-1.3.0/src/npw-viewer.c:1136):invoke_NPN_GetValue:
assertion failed: (rpc_method_invoke_possible(g_rpc_connection))
Abort trap (core dumped)

I had to reinstall the old one before it works again. It still
produces these error messages but it doesn't crash:

(process:592): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
	Using the fallback 'C' locale.
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 (<unknown
variable>) in NPN_GetValue()
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 (<unknown
variable>) in NPN_GetValue()

(for what it's worth, my LOCALE is hr_HR.UTF-8).

Yes, it contains some pipes:
