1. Download the RPM-packaged version of the JRE from Sun web site.
2. Install it with RPM as normal.
3. Enter the following as root:

cd /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.5/plugins
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

(Version numbers may need editing depending on which package versions
are current at the time that you install it).

4. (Re-)Start Firefox under your normal user account.
5. On the main menu bar, select "Edit", "Prefrences" and click on "Content".
6. Ensure that "Enable Java" is ticked, then click "OK".

If you need the specific download URL then I could dig it out for you,
or alternatively just e-mail the RPM (approx. size: 18Mb)
