Note that you can only have one java plugin enabled at a time.
$ ls /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/libjavaplugin.so -al

If everything else fails:
- Purge all JRE
See: aptitude search "?and(~Pjava-runtime,~i)"
- Purge iceweasel
- Reinstall iceweasel
- Reinstall sun-java6-plugin
- Create a new user account
- Test the JRE on http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
If that fails, I hope someone else can help you, because I can't think
of anything else.
