I wonder, this solutions give us not only JDK or JRE, but also the plugin, don't they?
The plugin's included in jre and jdk - if you don't see it in about:plugins most likely the symlink to libnpjp2.so has gone missing.
The debian-way of adding this link is to place an entry called mozilla-javaplugin.so to /etc/alternatives :
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mozilla-javaplugin.so" "mozilla-javaplugin.so" "/usr/lib/jvm/j2sdk1.6-oracle/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so" 3
sudo update-alternatives --config mozilla-javaplugin.so choose your weapon there if you got multiple solutionsafter that consider testing java @ http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp - it might complain java 7 is out, but you can ignore that until February/2013, just make sure to keep java6 up to date.
