I agree with Fabio and I am very worried about the future, and the way we will deal with this.

We embed some applets that use that kind of features (If I can call this, a feature). Using JNI calls to enable access to scanner (TWAIN driver), smart cards (holding user certificats) and direct access to printer (which I should admit is something very specific, but we still need to have this possibility to make our application smooth and more user-friendly).

I am waiting for any help/sample showing us how to enable those features/capabilities again, but I am afraid you (mozilla) forgot the professional domain (versus public one).
