I have a stock Squeeze installation, and the page you referenced works
for me. Here is my setup:
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_18"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8.9) (6b18-1.8.9-0.1~squeeze1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)
$ dpkg -l | grep icedtea
ii icedtea6-plugin 6b18-1.8.9-0.1~squeeze1
web browser plugin based on OpenJDK and IcedTea to execute Java applets
$ firefox --version
Mozilla Iceweasel 3.5.16, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2010 mozilla.org
Hope this helps.
