Scottrade streaming stock quotes is initiated from firefox, and uses a Java applet.
fc10 is fine and the fc13 dvd install, with no updates is good, but the latest fc13 changes (as of today) show the major index quotes are missing and there is a big blank area at the top of the display.
Since I manage my stocks with this program, I will not be able to use fc13 until it is fixed.

When you have a problem with a page/display on FF or other browser it is a good idea to include a link so that folks wishing to help don't have to hunt down and assume that is what you are talking about.
So, what is the link for this "streaming stock quotes" applet?

No kidding... I have my Roth IRA with scottrade ($7/trade), yet I have no idea what that applet's about or where to find it.

What I found out is that the IcedTea Firefox plugin is not that great, so I installed the Sun Java plugin.
As an example, the site below shows a moving chart with Euro-Dollar rate in real time. It displays well with Sun Java but not IcedTea (you still see data in IcedTea, but is static): http://www.fxstreet.com/rates-charts/forex-charts/?id=eurusd

On my updated F13 x86_64 box with standard OpenJDK stuff box that applet did not even start. I get a grey square and the message in Firefox' status bar "applet not initialized". The same was the case on my laptop which runs updated F14 x86_64.
It helps to file a bug and refer to that site. I have seen similar reports in the past posted as bugs and they got fixed.

What I meant with "static data" is that on that site one still sees something, coming from the HTML part of the page. As far as I remember what I saw (with IcedTea plugin) is what you saw.

Following your suggestion, I have just done that: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=637875
