Do a Google search on "applet plugin mozilla ubuntu"

I think you'll find what you need.  Really you just need to create a 
symbolic link from your mozilla plugins directory to your java plugin.  
I'd give you more details, but I'm not sure how technically proficient 
you are. 

Just do the google search.  If you start reading something much more 
complicated than that above, you've gone too far.
