"Make a symbolic link to libjavaplugin_oji.so in your Mozilla Plugins
directory. Unless you are using an old version of Mozilla, or one you
compiled yourself with gcc 2.9x, use the copy located in the
plugin/i386/ns7 directory of JRE 5.0, or plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32 if you
are using JRE 1.4.2."

The above is from the Java install instrux. Use the ns7 and put the link
in your firefox-1.0/plugins directory - don't worry about uninstalling
anything. That will probably cure what ails you. I'm new to all this,
but I have successfully done this twice in the past week, so it's all
very fresh.
