to try the following command:

"/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --auto javaplugin"

When I restarted Firefox, my missing java plugin was back and happy.

Give it a shot and see if that cleans up the problem.

I tried the above command (as root) doesn't work as normal user which
was expected.
However, when brought back up Firefox I still had the problem.

I like to use the java test program from sun to prove my browser is
working properly.

This is a serious enough problem with a wide enough problematic user experience
that I would hope that SUSE comes up with a patch so that normal
non-command line users can get help soon.

Using your above link, I find errors too. Hmm. At least I'm workable
in Firefox right now but would love to see it completely fixed.

I'm certain Novell will push out a patch ASAP. It is marked as high
priority-critical in bugzilla. Being this is the weekend now, don't
know how quickly that will be. Then again, I have seen patches come
out on a late Saturday night, so you never know.
