I'm using mozilla 1.7 on a FC2 x86_64 computer and cannot, for my life, 
get the java plugin to work (nor flash for that matter since it doesn't 
compile on x86_64). I've read every single one of these posts and 
nothing works. I've got libjavaplugin_oji.so in about 10 different 
directories:

[root at teddy cyrus]# locate libjavaplugin
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/lib/i386/libjavaplugin_jni.so
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns4/libjavaplugin.so
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla-1.6/plugins/java2/lib/i386/libjavaplugin_jni.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla-1.6/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla-1.6/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla-1.7/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla-1.7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

but still mozilla will not recognize its presence. Most of those listed 
above are symbolic links to the main 
//usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
file. Can someone help me out here? Does it have to be registered in 
some sort of plugin registry file?
