 There is a workaround. We can force a dependency on mozilla for the 
 jdk15 port and then use the resulting plugin on firefox. This should be 
 essentially what Sun does and the reason the java plugin on Windows and 
 Linux still works on firefox 1.5. I have such a setup here and I've just 
 verified that www.map24.com works fine with firefox.
 
 The caveat is that you have to keep a mozilla package installed, even if 
 you have no other use for it.
 
 Cheers,
