Move the plugin file in the JRE folder to the mozilla plugins folder.

I've doen that, the fil was called libjavaplugin_oji.so
is this the correct one?

Try using Windows? It's not that expensive, and imo it's far far better than Linux for the desktop.

I had to reboot to my ubuntu partition to check, I have firefox and java working like a charm.
First, I assume that you got the java platform installer from Java.com and successfully completed the installation.
Next you need to create a symbolic link from the directory that java was installed in (usually the same directory that you have the installer in). To create the link, cd to the plugin folder and then link to java like this

(Toggle Plain Text)

cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
ln -s /(java_dir)/jre1.5.0_04/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

(Note the exact path in bold)
Next, you need to make sure that java is enabled in firefox by going to Edit-->Preferences-->Web Features and make sure "Java Enabled" is checked.
Restart firefox and Voila.
I hope that helps, post again if you have a problem. You can see a more detailed version from java.com about configuring java
(sorry about being verbose, it is for google and the noobs sake)

hmm... try making a symbolic link to the same file but to the mozilla plugins directory instead.

(Toggle Plain Text)

cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
ln -s /(java_dir)/jre1.5.0_04/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Also, make sure that the links are functional by doing "ls -l" in the plugins directory. Assumin you're using bash, If the link is green(or blue) then it's working, if it's red then it is broken.

Are applets worth learning?
