Are you running Mozilla proper or Firefox?  If you're running Mozilla,
then I'm guessing you're running a fairly old Linux distro.  What
version of Java are you running?

Run the following commands and reply with the output:

cat /etc/issue
ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
ls -l /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
which java
java -version
