title: Firefox kills Java applets when out of view
body: <p>Hiding a Java applet using display: none causes firefox to kill the applet until it is visible again.  It also seems to kill the applet if you position the applet out of view ie. position: absolute; left: -9999;    Using visibility: hidden; will hide the applet without killing it, but then the applet still takes up space in the layout which doesn't work for my application.  Does anyone know of a workaround to prevent firefox from killing java applets when they're hidden via display or a negative position offset??</p>
  
  <p>The usage is a java upload applet that I'd like to hide during an upload without killing the upload.</p>
