What version of Java do the web pages require? If they are specific to the 
MSVM (i.e. the broken one) then they may well only work with the MSVM/IE. 
What do you see when you attempt to start an applet?

Have a look in the Java console and see if there are any errors listed (IIRC 
for Moz. that's in Tools->Web Development->Java Console).
