This one is a keeper, the steps for FC5 are good for FC6.
I tried that with FC6, just a few days ago.  The Sun site had moved onto
Java 1.6.0, which didn't work (installed, no errors, just doesn't appear
to work when I tested it).  I've just had another bash, making sure I
got all the new paths right.  The Java test page (*) doesn't work with
Java 1.6.0 (no results are shown, it's blank in the test part), but I
don't know if that's just the test page.  I don't know a site using Java
to test it with, but the games I tried on the Sun site didn't work.
At long last I got the 1.6 Java plugin to work in FF in FC 6. The plugin as well as as the Java contol panel (jcontrol) require libstdc++.so.5 to operate. This is an older version then the one that ships with FC 6 (libstdc++.so.6.0.8). After I installed compat-libstdc++-33 both the plugin and jcontrol started working.
