Being the "firefox person" who suggested that Thierry should discuss this on dev-platform, let me chime in.
I seem to understand that Thierry's issue is partially related to the fact that the UX of his site was designed with the assumption that if Java didn't start, then Java either wasn't installed or wasn't installed correctly. The site instantly fell back to the Java-less version, which was basically instructions on how to install Java. We discussed alternatives detection mechanisms with Thierry, so this part is probably a solved problem, I believe. If I recall, Thierry would have liked a way for his users to quickly allow Java for the page. Thierry, does the Page Information dialog do what you need? You can open that dialog from the small icon on the left of the address bar.
