Erik,
What does the follow show when pasted into the command line? (need not be root):
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display java
If you have more than one version, then for setting the default JRE, call (-- as root --) the following command:
update-alternatives --config java
The output will show you what you have and allow you to configure the default. You will see something like this:
[03:13 alchemy:/usr/lib64/jvm] # update-alternatives --config java
I did this, and had the wrong set.
# update-alternatives --config java
There are 2 alternatives which provide `java'.
Selection Alternative ----------------------------------------------- + 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/java * 2 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun/bin/java
Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number:
1 was active, and didn't work. I choosed 2, and now it works just fine with Firefox.
Thanks very much David for the help.
There are 3 alternatives which provide `java'.
Selection Alternative ----------------------------------------------- 1 /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun/bin/java 2 /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java *+ 3 /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/java

Also, do *not* forget the java plugin! The default Java plugin is called javaplugin (for Sun's Java) and a libjavaplugin.so.[arch] for icedtea7/openjdk6. For a change of default plugin, you should type:
update-alternatives --config libjavaplugin.so.x86_64
or for Sun's
update-alternatives --config javaplugin
For some sites, I have only been able to get openjdk to work. Other's suns javaplugin works.
If you need more info, see man update-alternatives (then you can get really confused ;-)
