firefox crashes when trying to load jmol applets

Hi there, for couple of weeks now every time I try to load a Jmol applet like the ones in the page:
http://jmol.sourceforge.net/demo/atoms/  firefox suddenly crashes everytime. First I thought the problem was firefox,
so I switched to Chrome which although doesn't crash doesn't render anything either. Finally, because I normally use an enlightment (e17) desktop, I tried an alternate window manager (it actually was wmii) and the problems continued.
Do you thinks this has anything to do with my 64 bit system? Would anyone have any advice, I really need this to work!!
Thanks

I use 64bit, and that applet works for me in firefox and chromium.
Did you install the icedtea-web package?

EDIT: just in case you hadn't read Browser Plugins - Java

ok, I was using jre (the propietary version) I changed to to openjdk icedtea and that solved the problem. It works perfectly now.
Thanks very much.
