@Merle: The file is part of 'sun-java6-bin' - Please make sure you have
that package installed. (It should get installed as a depends though...)

@RussianNeuroMancer: OpenJDK (IcedTea) isn't affected by *this* bug. If
java doesn't work for you, you probably have a different issue.

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.
