I don't remember if I had to update the alternatives manually, I don't
think so. This is what I got :

ls -l /etc/alternatives/ | grep javaplugin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  49 mai 22 19:06 firefox-javaplugin.so ->
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  49 mai 22 19:06 iceape-javaplugin.so ->
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  49 mai 22 19:06 iceweasel-javaplugin.so ->
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  49 mai 22 19:06 midbrowser-javaplugin.so ->
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  49 mai 22 19:06 mozilla-javaplugin.so ->

If you don't have that, just do a:

update-alternatives --config iceweasel-javaplugin.so

and choose the one you want to be the default.

I don't have any link in my ~/.mozilla/plugin folder.
