Starting in Firefox 3.6.7 (I think) the (Sun) Java plugin changed names. Here is what it should look like ...
$ ls -la /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Jun 24 19:32 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so -> /usr/java/latest/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
The plugin name changed .. the old one plugin is still in the jdk, but will silently fail in the browser.
Funny I ahve: amd64 java "Sun" FF 64bit libnpjp2.so -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_21/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
and it does not work period. Sun says 64bit plugin works? All my 32 bit workstations are fine.
I only have 32-bit, which is what my example is from.
