If you have sun java 1.6 .* installed on a 32 Bit system you need to create a link from libjavaplugin_oji.so to one of your plugin directories such as /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Once this is done you should see something similar to the following in about:plugins

I want to resurrect this thread..... Some time ago, I got the JRE, but had the same problem as the OP. This box is CentOS 5.3 (32 bit) fully updated. Firefox 3.04.14. I have jre1.6.0_13 installed. In usr/lib/mozilla/plugins when I make the link, as the root user, the permissions seem to be the same as for the link for libflashplayer.so but when I go back to my regular user account and launch Mozilla Firefox, it crashes. Is that because I had the java.com site open in

Both with firefox 3.0.14 and 3.5.3, if I tried to view a flash video, such as street view from google maps, it crashed firefox, hard, 100% of the time. I reported this as a bug last week - bug 515672 - and they finally tracked it down the other day. Turns out there's an undocumented dependency on libcurl, so if you install the curl rpm - both, if you're running 64-bit, that fixes it.
Heh - it even caused their crashreporter to crash, because *it* needed it as well.
