I am having trouble with jre1.6
HTTP and HTTPs access do not work in a signed applet.
(Actually the problem is intermitent and is filed in the sun bug list).

But how can I get rid of the jre1.6 plug in?

Either internet explorer or in firefox?

The easiest way is to just reinstall 1.5.

1.5 and 1.6 can easily coexist, but the browsers uses the latest
installed version.

Alternatively you can copy the relevant files for FireFox. I did
it once and I can probably find the filenames.

If you launch the applet using web start, fine grained
versioning is possible.
<http://www.physci.org/jws/version.html>

While 1.6 is still broken, use..
<j2se version='1.5*'>
..to get any 1.5 variant.

When Sun release a 1.6 microversion that fixes the bug
(e.g. 1.6.0_21), the element can be changed along the lines
of..
<j2se version='1.5*, 1.6.0_21+'>
..to include 1.5 and versions of 1.6 that include the fix.
