Is there any workaround, either in Firefox settings, or better, in the
Java source?
How about the 'launch source'? I bet this problem
would disappear, if you launch using web-start.
Web start usually isn't a viable alternative for applets if the applets are
to be deployed on a website accessible by "average consumers".
What leads you to that conclusion? It seems to
me more a problem of developers who have no
idea how to use web-start, or what it can provide.
If you put a "click here to see my movies", the
user probably does not care if the movie opens in
another page or a free floating window. In fact,
if they have a preference, it would usually be
for the free floating window (with user configurable
desktop and start menu items & file associations -
automatic update, but still allowing off-line use..
etc.).
There are some (few) applets that simply *cannot*
be (usefully or effectively) launched using web-start.
Most other applets, are better suited to web-start
launch.
