Ok, it seems that an older sun-java6 version created
libjavaplugin_oji.so as an alternative. We should do an update somewhere
to clean this alternative during the upgrade so users don't get a java
plugin that isn't supported by the browser

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Over the past two nights, firefox was upgraded from 3.0.x to 3.6.6 on
our Kubuntu 8.04.4 machines. Unfortunately, this upgrade broke the
interaction with the Java plugin that is installed. As a result, Firefox
no longer reports a Java plugin and pages containing Java cannot be
viewed.
Installed packages:
firefox 3.6.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2
sun-java6-plugin 6.20dlj-0ubuntu1.8.04
Despite being installed, "about:plugins" does not list the Java plugin.
What I've tried so far:
- Installing sun-java5-plugin as well => no change
- Making a symbolic link from /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin.so to
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libjavaplugin.so => no change
