Please try the rpm from the Sun website (or the 1.5 java version) and let 
me know if that works. I'm not sure if it is the package, your mozilla 
config or something else.

You also might want to start mozilla with a clean profile (or as a clean 
newly-added user). There have been ugly cases before of profile pollution 
causing weird behaviour.

PS I think both firefox and mozilla should have an interface to disable 
plugins case by case for situations like this. (With extensions this is 
already possible)
