In the plugins folder you need a syslink to java. Assuming that you
have the latest Java:
# ln -s /opt/jre1.5.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/home/<user>/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

this is a 1 user solution
an all user solution (using your versioning)...
ln -s /opt/jre1.5.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin.oji.so \
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
but on my setup, this worked...
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
YMMV - especially depending upon which java you install.
