1.4.2 fixes it.  It took me ages to find out where firefox was getting
the path of the plugin from: it turns out there's a link in
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins rather than somewhere under
/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox.  This seems to imply that every browser is
expected to use the same plugin version, which would cause problems!

Firefox still crashes when I go to Slashdot, but that's probably not
because of Java...
