Yep ;)
I had the same problem. It appears the name of the java
plugin has now changed. Also it lives in an obscure place.
In a nutshell - You need a symlink from your mozilla
plugins directory to the JAVA plugin file, which is now
called libnpjp2.so
[ajb@stxsl /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins]$
OLD JAVA PLUGIN:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 May 24 15:36
libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
/usr/java/default/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
NEW JAVA PLUGIN:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 May 24 15:57 libnpjp2.so ->
/usr/java/default/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
