Just keeps getting better :-(
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/p463

So I don't know if it was the browser(s), or the Applet being unsigned, 
or the Applet being loaded dynamically at run-time, that caused the new 
there-be-dragons pop-up not to be displayed but hosting the web-page in 
the same domain as the Applet works-around the problem.

It appears Caller-Allowable-Codebase only works if the Applet is signed 
by a certificate authority, but does that help if the web-site was 
loaded with http instead of httpS in the first place? And shouldn't 
Caller-Allowable-Codebase really be called 
Caller-Allowable-DOCUMENTbase? Look if this check ensured that only 
script files included in the HTML were from the same domain as the 
Applet then this could be brilliant, but it only seems interested in the 
unverified parent location :-(

To add insult to injury 9005723 did not make it in this release either. 
So you LiveConnect calls still can't pass Java arrays as arguments to 
JavaScript functions.

Cheers Richard Maher
