Uninstall the package:	pkg-get -r firefox
Reinstall:		pkg-get -i firefox

First, see if you have java installed on your OS.  Typically the Sun java
installs under /usr/j2se so see if you have:

	/usr/j2se/jre/plugin/sparc/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so

If not, install J2SE from the Sun site http://java.sun.com.  Then, make the
following symbolic link:

	cd /opt/csw/libexec/firefox/plugins
	ln -s /usr/j2se/jre/plugin/sparc/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Restart firefox and java should be working.
