I think there may be something wrong with the plugin itself.  Starting
firefox with debug gives me this when I try to load a java app in the
browser:

VM did not start up properly
java_vm process: could not find Java VM symbols
Could not read ack from child process
Plugin: Java VM process has died.
plugin: java process exited with status 3
Could not start JavaVM!
