First, can you try to go to about:plugins in firefox and see if java
is listed there.

Also, can you show us the output of the following commands
ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
ls -lL /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

apart from that, I've had lot's of problems with java 1.4. Going to
1.5 helped me a lot.
