Patricio,

edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/sun-java6-plugin.postinst and change
browser_dirs in line 6 as browser_dirs="xulrunner-addons firefox-
addons". Then do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure sun-java6-plugin. Then restart
your firefox-2 browser.

about:plugins URL in firefox-2 should display that Java 6 plugin is
registered.
