Remember that this is just RC1 of Firefox, and IIRC Hardy will include the stable version once it ships. Also, in-browser Java is far less prevalent then it used to be, in fact, Runescape is the only in-browser Java application I can think of. I'm not on Hardy anymore, otherwise I'd give installing Java a try, because the problem might also be specific to your machine. Did you file a bug report?
