Java applet in FireFox keeps appearing and disappearing related to actionpoller (works fine in IE)

I have an applet called from a VF page, which works fine with IE.  However, with Firefox, the applet loads and disappears then reappears based on the timing of the actionpoller.  The applet should load and stay loaded, which it does in IE. If I comment out the actionpoller code in the VF page, the applet stays loaded as it should in Firefox.  Here is the actionpoller line:

 

    <apex:actionPoller interval="5" action="{!noOp}" oncomplete="getBarCodes()" rerender="jsPanel"/>



Is there some issue trying to use actionpoller in Firefox vs IE.  Thanks in advance for any help.

It turned out that the rerender in the actionPoller line was causing the problem.  It was rerendering a detail table.  I'm still not sure why Firefox didn't like it but IE did.  I found a workaround.
