---- Java applets disappear in Firefox and Navigator

Welcome to the forums!

Is there a technique other than APPLET...

Yes - <applet> is now a deprecated element, and the suggested replacement is <object>. Since the two modern browsers you mention are much more standards compliant than IE, you may be running into this.

It's good to hear you are "future-proofing" your mark-up. Hope this helps.

DEPRECATED EXAMPLE:
In the following example, the APPLET element includes a Java applet in the document. Since no codebase is supplied, the applet is assumed to be in the same directory as the current document.

<APPLET code="Bubbles.class" width="500" height="500">
Java applet that draws animated bubbles.
</APPLET>

This example may be rewritten with OBJECT as follows:

<P><OBJECT codetype="application/java"
classid="java:Bubbles.class"
width="500" height="500">
Java applet that draws animated bubbles.
</OBJECT>

W3C Reference [w3.org]

Also, have you run your existing pages through the W3C validator [validator.w3.org]? You may also be bumping into non-valid mark-up rather than just deprecated mark-up.
