I have installed both:

But no Java plugin in Firefox.
I go to: http://java.com/en/download/help/enable_browser.xml
And yes, Java is enabled but still get the dreaded 'download plugin'.
I seem to recall some magic linking needed, but my docs are in Freemind that I can't get installed either.....
The secret is in 'alternatives', here is what I do in my kickstart scripts (mind the wrap):
# Remove Sun added links rm -f /usr/bin/javaws rm -f /usr/bin/jcontrol
# Add Sun Java to alternatives alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/default/bin/java 1000 --slave /usr/lib/jvm/jre jre /usr/java/default --slave /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/java/default/bin/javaws --slave /usr/bin/jcontrol jcontrol /usr/java/default/bin/jcontrol --slave /usr/bin/rmiregistry rmiregistry /usr/java/default/bin/rmiregistry
# Set Sun Java as the preferred Java environment alternatives --set java /usr/java/default/bin/java
This should work even if you upgrade the Sun Java version.
