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.
Hope this helps.
Barry
