Same problem on Jaunty 32-bit.

sun-java6-plugin installs, Sun Java the default Java (in update-
alternatives), but Firefox 3.6.8 about:plugins shows no plugin
installed.

Unlike BjA, the fix for me was to symlink the separate libnpjp2.so in
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins *and* /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. In my build,
only libjavaplugin.so was there, correctly symlinked to the /usr/lib/jvm
path.

Is this something that's broken with the recent upgrade of Firefox to
3.6 on older Ubuntu releases (such as Jaunty)??

ls -al /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[includes only /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so -> 
/etc/alternatives/mozilla-javaplugin.so]

ls -al /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[includes only /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so -> 
/etc/alternatives/mozilla-javaplugin.so]

cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so

cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
