[opensuse] Problem Running Java with Firefox

Hi,

I'm using openSUSE 10.3, kernel 2.6.22, Firefox 2.0.0.10, and
java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_update13-0.5

I have a problem getting Java applets to run in my Firefox.

There is a symbolic link to the Java plugin for the Firefox browser
located in /usr/lib/browser-plugins/javaplugin.so
This links to /etc/alternatives/javaplugin which is a symbolic link to
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update13-sr2/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
This plugin didn't work. Although about:plugins show that the Java
installation is working for Firefox, visiting Java's page or any page
with a Java applet does not work correctly.

So what I did was to create a link
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so to the same file as
above. about:plugins again showed that the plugin is installed. Once
again, I tried the applet in
http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp but it is still not
working.

I've googled for help but the results came back with making a symbolic
link which I've already done.

Does anyone have any advice?
