You're right. I just changed from using a proxy .pac file to an explicit
proxy addr in the java control panel and it works now.

So, java does not work with proxy pac files!!!

Maybe this little bit will save someone else the weeks I've spent on
this.

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.
