I was having problems with the java (and swfdec-mozilla too) not
working on x86_64 (yes all 64 bit packages).

For the java if I went to about:plugins it was listed. If I went to
www.java.com it and selected the detect option it detected version
1.7.0 so that looked OK, but a couple of java sites I use on occasion
would come back with errors saying java wasn't installed.

For swfdec (yes I know its not part of Fedora) it wouldn't even detect
it in about:plugins.

I tried the above and got the following:

[root at euuklonw7300b1n ~]# mozilla-plugin-config -i -f
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: libxpcom.so: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory
[root at euuklonw7300b1n ~]# ldconfig -v | grep libxp
[root at euuklonw7300b1n ~]#

A rpm gave me
[root at euuklonw7300b1n ~]# rpm -ql firefox| grep libxpcom
/usr/lib64/firefox-2.0.0.8/components/libxpcom_compat_c.so
/usr/lib64/firefox-2.0.0.8/libxpcom.so
/usr/lib64/firefox-2.0.0.8/libxpcom_compat.so
/usr/lib64/firefox-2.0.0.8/libxpcom_core.so
[root at euuklonw7300b1n ~]#

So I added a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/firefox.conf file with
/usr/lib64/firefox-2.0.0.8/ in it. Ran a ldconfig and restarted
firefox and it all started working.

So I'm not sure if there's suppose to be links for libxpcom.so or
something else or whether the plugins have issues. Let me know if you
want more details.
