Did you try the link to mozilla plugins?

as you can see in my link i use mozilla firefox 1.0.4, so that's not the reason

All Mozilla browsers use the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, so that is a better place to link stuff.

But anyway, I think you should remove the Java you installed. Java packages, especially the RPMs from Sun, are very screwed up and conflict with lots of stuff in Linux. You should try to install Java 1.5 with these instructions

Been using it for months.
