Java applet/Firefox incompatibility problem

I've written a Java applet. A user reports that he tried to run it in Firefox 3.0.3 on OS X 10.5.5 but no go. It wants him to download a plug-in, but when he tells it to install missing plug-ins it can't find the appropriate installer...

What is going wrong here?

I had to make a change in my HTML. I had to change:

<param name = "type" value = "application/x-java-applet;version=1.6">

to 

<param name = "type" value = "application/x-java-applet;version=1.5">

and 

type = "application/x-java-applet;version=1.6" \

to 

type = "application/x-java-applet;version=1.5" \

You have to get java from Apple, not Sun. Here's a link for it on the download page.
