Still trying to get java working with firefox. I recompiled and installed jdk14. Now when I go to Sun's test site I get:

Applet testvm notinited
Loading Java Applet Failed

Your about:plugins looks the same as mine. Where is this java test site?

This is a little off the topic, specifically, but I have been struggling with java, and other (flash) plugins and firefox myself. I have very much the same information as has been discussed in this thread in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins:

total 0
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   0 Jul 23 08:59 .firefox.keep
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 49 Sep 14 06:35 flashplayer.xpt@ -> /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/flashplayer.xpt lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 51 Sep 14 06:37 libflashplayer.so@ -> /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 78 Sep 14 07:07 libjavaplugin_oji.so@ -> /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

However, when I use the about:plugins page, it comes up essentially blank, giving me only the information links about instaling plugins, etc. I have been working under the assumption that I've done something incredibly stupid, and attempting to find my error on my own, and have the sinking feeling that it's probly staring me right in the face, and I'm just too blind to see it. Do either of you (or anyone else for that matter) have any advice or hints here, or does this seem as strange to you as it does to me?

I can only repeat what I said before. 1) Check that the symbolic link resolves correctly (ls -lL will show a file, not a link) 2) I'm not convinced that a linux-java is what you want. The other poster installed native java 1.4 and got it to show up as a plugin. That "works" for me. I can use at least one site that has a java applet and it doesn't crash all that often. Whether the linux-java can be made to work, I do not know.

AFAIK, the notinited error being described above means a) Java *is* running b) the applet is doing something broken which popping up the Java console might help with.
