I have no mac to hand but I remember the issue now. For some reason,
pull down menus on any applet window are tagged on to the *right* of the
pulldowns on the Firefox menu bar. This is incredibly useless, and
seemed to be something to do with the java plugin rather than firefox
itself (since I tried various different mac ports to see if that made a
difference).

unimpressed.
