I have a native firefox and jdk build, but this file was not in this
folder. I copied it from /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/ and
firefox detected it. However, when I opened a test applet, firefox
crashed. Are there any other changes to be done to let firefox know the
location of the jre? 'java.default_java_location_others' is set
to /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/jre/lib/i386

I have not upgraded firefox, still running 1.0.7. Would this be a
problem?
