@RussianNeuroMancer, it seems that this has been fixed already. After
having some trouble with open-jdk's mozilla plugin, I removed the
package via synaptic completely and installed sun-java6-plugin with all
it's dependencies. After restarting firefox, the applets I had trouble
with under open-jdk worked without problems anymore. Just FYI...

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.
