Mike,
I don't know for sure if it is Microsoft Java VM,
but the page did display for me. and I also made a
symbolic link as follows in the .mozilla/plugins/
subdirectory.
libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /home/olivares/Downloads/j2re1.4.2_06/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Which Jre are you using? That could be the problem.
