You need to symlink the libjavaplugin.so file to your mozilla plugins
directory.

I suspect that you already have a file
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so pointing to the icedtea
version of the plugin, via the /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so

If you wish to consume the Sun's plugin, then you need to remove this
file and create a symlink to the Sun's plugin

ln -s /usr/java/jre1.*/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

Now restart firefox and you should see the new plugin take effect.

On the other hand, I would really appreciate it if someone can tell me
how to use the alternatives to pick up the Sun's environment.

thanks,
Rogue
