Does that actually work for you in Linux ff?  Here I just get either
the applet replaced with a grey box or a hung ff depending on which
version of Linux ff I try...  (I tried 3.5.8 and 3.5.9 i.e. the
www/linux-firefox-devel port as well as several ff 3.6 and 3.7 Linux
builds off mozilla.org simply run from the extracted dir; It does work
in linux-opera as well as in both the kde3 and the kde4 versions of
konqueror so I guess its not the Linuxolator's fault alone...)
If you want to see for yourself the new plugin is in

	/usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so

- symlink that into ~/.mozilla/plugins and then go to e.g.

	http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml

with Linux ff.  And the old plugin in

	/usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.6.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

hangs Linux ff 3.5.9 too - and obviously doesn't work in ff >= 3.6.
Oh and the old native plugin,

	/usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0/jre/plugin/amd64/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

does work in native ff 3.5, just not in 3.6 of course because of the
api change.

 Turns out it actually still is (wtf!!), also linux-sun-jdk-1.6.0.20 which
I just updated to if I do the test mentioned in:

	http://www.securiteam.com/securitynews/5IP0C0AFGW.html

[...]
zsh triton8% rm /tmp/test
zsh triton8% /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.6.0/bin/jar xvf trash.jar
[...]
 inflated: ../../../../tmp/test
zsh: killed     /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.6.0/bin/jar xvf trash.jar
zsh triton8% echo $?
137
zsh triton8% ls -l /tmp/test
-rw-r--r--  1 nox  wheel  3 May  6 18:32 /tmp/test
zsh triton8%

 (and the SIGKILL is strange too.)

 ..and this is because linux-sun-jdk15 has had its PORTEPOCH bumped
twice (the ,2), while linux-sun-jdk16 has no PORTEPOCH yet, so
1.6.0.18 is considered smaller than 1.5.2.02,2.  (And once there actually
_is_ a linux-sun-jdk16 version where this bug is fixed I guess we'd have
to do seperate ranges like:

	<range><ge>1.5.*</ge><le>1.6.42</le></range>
	<range><ge>1.5.*,1</ge><le>1.5.2.02,1</le></range>
	<range><ge>1.5.*,2</ge><le>1.5.2.02,2</le></range>

)
