Hi, 
the command using update-alternatives didn't work for me, I had to manually create the link :

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

I'm using Lucid (fresh installation, only kept my home dir), OpenJDK has
been installed prior to Sun JRE.

Bug description:
In lucid firefox 3.6 doesn't seem to recognize the plugin in /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/ anymore, putting the symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ works, so the following part of the java debian/rules should be changed (line 66ff)

# FIXME: xulrunner-addons only tested on sid, jaunty, karmic
ifeq ($(distribution),Ubuntu)
  browser_plugin_dirs = xulrunner-addons firefox iceape iceweasel mozilla midbrowser xulrunner
  browser_plugin_dirs = xulrunner-addons
else
  browser_plugin_dirs = mozilla
endif

It works fine too if you just remove that.
