I had the same problem with Firefox 3.6.1. I solved it trhu a tip I 
found on the net. The main problem is the java plugin file that has 
changed. It used to be...
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
and now it is...
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.14/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
Go to  /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.1pre/plugins and then re-link...
  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.14/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
Problem solved!!!
