I vote for this link too:

This is the only method that has consistantly worked on all the
installs that I've done. It really looks more difficult than it really
is. You can even use the newer 1.5.0 Java stuff and just substitute
that in those instructions.

If I'm remembering correctly, you MAY be able to just download the
package from Sun, uncompress it, and copy the plugin from there to
your Firefox plugin directory. That plugin may require the whole Java
install though, so maybe someone else can confirm that.
