I have installed the latest java 1.6_24 version using rpm on linux redhat machine. "java -version" works OK, I have the link:

libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_24/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Also:

/usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_24/bin/java

In the past install (java 1.4) there where also some references to "jvm" but these don't exist in 1.6 version.

Must be something else missing..

libjavaplugin_oji.so is the old classic Java plugin. For Firefox 3.6.x you need the Next Generation Java plugin (libnpjp2.so)
