Then that could be the problem. Last night I was wondering if I had the right file. Almost all the references were to libnpjp2.so. How does one figure out which other one it might be? And why would the 64-bit file work with chrome but not iceweasel? I'll redo the sym links and give it a try. And we wonder why Linux isn’t mainstream . . .
Thanks for testing in your environment. I'll get back to it after b'fast.

OK. I just redid the sym links to libjavaplugin_oji.so in both /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins. Restarted iceweasel and now it's not seeing any java plugin. So just what .so file do I need?

Update - According to a response over at FDN:

> The libnpjp2.so plugin is what you should be using on both 32bit & 64bit if you're using firefox (or iceweasel) versions 3.6 and higher. The libjavaplugin_oji.so plugin was for 3.5 and earlier versions of firefox (or iceweasel)

I also installed midori and no problem running java on the problem site. So it seems to be a mozilla specific bug. Debating whether to report it to the devs.
