I had this problem too. This was on x86_64 however, but I installed 32-bit 
firefox and sun java-plugin and had problems getting it to work until I 
figured out that I must manually remove classpath-webplugin. I thought 
classpath-webplugin was only installed by default on 64-bit installations, 
but apparently it's also done on 32-bit - it doesn't do much good anywhere - 
but on 32-bit it's extra problematic.

I support Benji's proposed resolutions.
