That's just the problem. That plugin comes from Sun's JRE for i386.
The latest JRE/Java2SDK for Sparc/Linux I could find is blackdown's 1.3.0
FCS (apparently they're working on the sparc-port of 1.3.1; 'in a few
weeks' someone said in october on a ml).
The plugin in that JRE is so broken it crashes mozilla on startup.
(Missing a file in jre/lib.) Somehow the coders of blackdown don't get
mozilla working ok so they've not yet provided a recompiled version of
that plugin :(.

Thomas
