firefox 1.0.1 and java

[Gerhard Magnus]

Once I installed the new firefox 1.0.1 I lost the java runtime
environment I had finally been able to get working with firefox 1.0.  

The "About Mozilla Firefox" window says I'm running "Firefox/1.0.1
Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2".  I assume this new version of firefox is using
files from the directory tree that starts /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1, which
means I need to make a symbolic link (using the ln -s command)
from /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
to /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins.  This is the same procedure I
successfully used before to make the link in
the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins directory.

For some reason this procedure is not working -- the new link
in /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins appears in red instead of blue.  I've
tried deleting the link (using rm -r) from both
the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins and the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins
directories.  Although they no longer show up (using ls -al) the link
creation (using ln -s) still gives a non-functioning link.  Then when I
do a locate libjavaplugin_oji.so I get --

/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

which seems to be saying the links are still there in both firefox
directories!  When I try ls -l on the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins
directory I get:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    20 Mar  6 16:51 libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
libjavaplugin_oji.so

flashing in red -- it looks like the link is linking to itself.  Or
something....  Any suggestions on how to clean this up or at least to
hack through it further?
