I imagine the java plugin doesn't show in about:plugins .
In that case, make sure that you have (well, this was for linux-firefox with
the lot):
/usr/local/lib/linux-firefox/plugins
$ ls -l
total 20
But you really want this :
sudo ln -s
/usr/local/linux-blackdown-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/local/lib/linux-firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

I used to have linux-blackdown 1.4 running with no problem.

Works fine here: ffox native, native jdk 1.5, flash 7, acrobat reader, most
multimedia formats inline There have been a couple of threads in July in
questions@ about this.
firefox-2.0.0.5,1
javavmwrapper-2.3
diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_6
linux-flashplugin-7.0r69
nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.4_2

I checked and it is as you say- the native Firefox works fine using
nspluginwrapper properly. The only issue is the well-known audio out
of sync on Flash videos from Youtube.
Even my favourite flash7-crasher www.davehum.com works correctly with a feeble
*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING: unhandled variable 11 in NPP_GetValue()
in the console window now and again.
However, I gave up on getting Java working in Linux-Firefox. The
plugins _do_ show in about:plugins, but the Java test page shows
'applet testvm not inited' (on the sun-jdk14 only, otherwise nothing).
The Java console works, and 's' for system settings shows
'/usr/local/bin/opera' as the 'browser distribution path'. Hmm. This
is in linux-firefox. My eye is on the opera-linuxplugins port as a
possible culprit.
