Thanks to everyone for their help. It turns out that I had two problems:
1) The page that you get redirected to by the Firefox plugin finder links
to these (incorrect) install instructions:
http://java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml#rpm
The correct install instructions can be found at Oracle's website:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/install-linux-rpm-137089.html
2) I was using the Argeo-Plus plugin (32-bit), which appears to be broken.
Mathieu, if you get it working again, I'd be happy to use it, but if not, I
understand.
I was aware that the location had changed (serendipitously), and have the latest
version (I've since rolled everything to the Oracle/Sun plugin).
Thanks all,
-G.
