Gatling - Problem when using the recorder on an applet


Question from a Gatling newbie here. I am having some issues trying to use the recorder on a java web application. I can start the recorder, log in to the app, go from pages to pages without issue, and this is recorded on Gatling as it is supposed to be, but when I try to go on a page where there is an applet, I face an error and the applet doesn't display itself. The webapp works as expected if I use it without the recorder. 

Do you have any ideas on what could be causing this behavior?

 The webapp is using a java 1.6 (and let's be fair, it is kinda a legacy application) and is hosted by our client. We must use Firefox version 3.0.9 to access it. Thank you in advance.

    I'm afraid we've never tried to support applets. Applets are a legacy technology, deprecated since Java 9 and will be dropped from java some day, so that's not something we plan on invest on.

    That being said, contributions are welcome.
