No error message is printed, and no output generated either.

Used Firebug 1.6 beta on Firefox 4 to step through the JS Code.

It seems that the initialized flag is not set to true when the connection is 
established. Might be the reason why nothing happens...

Hmm

On Webkit browser (tested on Chrome and Safari) the connector.connect function 
generates the <applet> tag and executes it.
On Firefox 4 Beta 6 this tag is also generated but it does not get executed.

Oh shit. I think I remember reading something that the <applet> tag was about 
to be dropped ... :-)

See for example http://www.quackit.com/html/tags/html_applet_tag.cfm ...

Grr, this bug starts to annoy me...

Tried applet, object and embed tags but without success...

I think it doesn't have anything to do with the tags used. E.g. go to 
http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/applet.html 
with FF4 and the applet will run without any problems... tried other applets 
and none didn't start.

Is it possible that firefox does not parse/execute the applet tag when it is 
generated via JavaScript? Assuming that the body is rendered before the JS 
executes why should Firefox parse and execute the the code?

After some test cases this bug seems to be a one in Firefox 4.

A bug report is filed and sent to Mozilla.
