Re: Java applets not working on mac
I was struggling with this myself, until I found that it was an extension issue and disabled AdBlock Plus in Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594482
Bug 594482 - Java applets broken with content policies (NoScript, Adblock Plus, GreaseMonkey...)
I've added that to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#If_Java_is_installed_and_enabled_but_does_not_work

Re: Java applets not working on mac
Disabling NoScript, ABP and Greasemonkey does not solve the Java problem. See this Bug 611777. The Java plugin Java Embedding Plugin 0.9.7.4 is not recognized by FF4b7; it doesn't appear in Tools -> Add-ons -> Plug-ins nor does it show up in about:plugins. If you check these in FF3.6.12 the plugin appears in both places and it works at http://javatester.org/index.htm.

Re: Java applets not working on mac
http://javatester.org/version.html works for me: I see Java Version 1.6.0_22 from Apple Inc. in a pink rectangle. When I go to about:plugins and Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins I see Java Plug-In 2 for NPAPI Browsers.
The Java Embedding Plugin was removed in Firefox 4 Beta because it is no longer needed. I added references on that to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#On_Mac_OS_X

I see that too but doesn't work. Let me poke around for a while.

Of course
How lame am I. Turns out that Little Snitch was blocking a connection
plugin-container via java.sun.plugin2.main.client.PluginMain
When I fixed that and with NoScript, ABP and Greasemonkey disabled I saw the pink rectangle at http://javatester.org/index.htm

Re: Java applets not working on mac
Yeah, it can get complicated figuring out this stuff, especially with all the changes in Firefox 4 on Mac
P.S. About your Little Snitch security software blocking the java plugin-container process, thanks for the info. I'll add a reference link to this thread in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins#Plugin-container.
