If you cant get java to work in firefox follow these steps:
Download the Sun Java rpm from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
cd /usr/java
cp /path/to/jre-[version]-linux-i586-rpm.bin .
chmod a+x jre-[version]-linux-i586-rpm.bin
./jre-[version]-linux-i586-rpm.bin
rpm -ivh jre-[version]-linux-i586.rpm
cd /usr/lib/firefox-[version]/plugins
ln -s /usr/java/jre[version]/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .
