I posted this once before, but I guess you missed it.  Help>About: shows
that you have the x86_64 version of Firefox installed.  x86_64 java
plugins are all broken, or rather left totally undeveloped.  I don't
know why, but even Sun has chosen to ignore this base of users.

My solution was to install the x86 version (see below) and use a 32bit
javaplugin--mine is from IBM 1.4.2.  My Firefox works as expected, after
doing this.
