What flavor Linux are you running?

If Debian or Debian-like, install sun-java5-plugin (or sun-java6-plugin if you got java 6). If not Debian, I would ask Google (or wait for another reply).

Hope this helps, taken from firefox's FAQ.

Linux

Firefox is compiled with gcc 3.2.3, so a compatible version of the Java plugin must be used. On Linux, Firefox requires JRE 1.4.2 or later.

If you installed the JRE 1.5.0_10 RPM, this plugin is /usr/java/j2re1.5.0_10/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so and to install it for Firefox, do the following:
Open a terminal
Change to your Firefox plugins directory
Issue the following command: ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.5.0_10/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

If you are using an older Linux distribution, you may need to install the gcc3 support libraries, as the gcc 3.2 version of the Java plugin requires libgcc_s.so.1 to operate. You may be able to find packages using Google.

If you are using an old or unofficial build of Firefox, you can check which compiler was used by entering about:buildconfig in the location bar and pressing enter. You will see a line such as gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux), which will show the compiler that was used. If gcc2.9x was used, you need to use the ns610 plugin, not the ns610-gcc32 plugin.

Of course check the file and folder names to make sure they match your version.
