The problem is in method getParameter(). Using java icedtea 1.7.0 and passing a PARAM string to getParameter() that includes a carriage return, /n, results in a string that still includes the carriage return. Running the same applet on a windows XP machine wwith internet explorer running java 6 update 3, the getParameter() method returns a string without the carriage returns included. Bug or feature... whatever... it causes some web pages to fail in firefox using the icedtea plugin.
One more comment... :-)
