[CentOS] Java plugin (icedtea-web) does not load

Hi,

After some recent upgrade or the other, the browser plugin for java no longer works in my CentOS 6 x86_64 setup - using Firefox. Applets won't load, and no java plugin is mentioned in "about:plugins". The "openjdk" Java packages as well as icetea-web are installed, though, and everything worked just fine a few weeks ago.

Has anyone else seen this? Any idea what may be wrong and/or how to diagnose the problem? Should I expect error messages anywhere if the plugin just won't load (can't see anything in the browser console)?

Note that when I talk about upgrades, I mean that I generally install all "notified" system updates.
