are you sure the java plug-in is installed/enabled?

In Mozilla, try Help -> about plug-ins

see if java plug-in is installed. If not, you have to quit mozilla.
then locate the plug-ins folder for mozilla
on FC-2, it is in /usr/lib/mozilla
and then locate the proper java plug-in shared object
on FC-2, it is in /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_04/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/

and thus to link it...

ln -s \
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_04/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugin

and lastly, as whatever user you are running as...you must have java
exported in your path...
# echo $PATH
/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_04/bin:/root/bin
