If the browser can't get the applet code, it won't work, but there's 
nothing Shibboleth can do about that. If the applet code is sitting behind 
rules that limit its access, then if the browser doesn't make the request 
with a cookie that corresponds to a session, it isn't going to work. If 
you want to fix that, you have to prevent that from happening. I would 
imagine different browsers have different behavior around the HTTP client 
used and whether the cookie store is shared or not.

If the classes don't need to be limited access, then fix the rules that 
are preventing it.
