I suppose there is some bug with certificate access in firefox-java 
related to keystore access.
It can be seen as
"java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Password verification failed", 
when browser is launched from command prompt.
Don't have any ideas what should be done about this. Perhaps, password 
used for generating keystore has to be stored in some config.

It doesn't prevent applets from being started, but OpenJDK version 7 
cause some of them to malfunction.
We have some Java-based KVMs here, which just don't like anything except 
Sun Java 5.

Anyway, FF 17, OpenJDK 1.7.45 and the latest icedtea-web have been 
published today. So, enjoy and report bugs :)
I've checked that at least several our management interfaces work with 
it.

I'd also like to see OpenJDK 1.6 (and OpenJDK 1.6-based Firefox plugin) 
available out of the box for compatibility reasons.
But I don't know if I can do it in the nearest future.
