You can enable NTLM credential pass-through by doing the following:

  1. Type about:config into your address bar.
  2. Find the preference labeled network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris.
  3. Add the URL of your SharePoint site as a value for this preference.

Voilà!  Now your SharePoint site is a “trusted site” in Firefox.

Anyway, since I’ve upgraded to Firefox 3, Java has been crashing everytime I try to load a Java applet.  I found a bulletin board that suggested I install the Java 6 Update 10 Beta.  This seems to have worked.  A link to Update 10 is below:

I’ve also posted my error that Windows provided for posterity (and in case someone is having the same issue and is Googling):
