Have a look at http://mozilla.weebeastie.net/java.shtml

Very useful site which explains things clearl.

Note that, for firefox (not sure about mozilla) the link needs to go in
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so.

For the current version of firefox you need to link to the 
ns610-gcc32 version.
