This bug is fairly widely reported:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icedtea-web/+bug/927282
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=789959

the work-around mentioned there is to go to "about:config" in firefox
and set

dom.ipc.plugins.java.enabled  : true

That works for me.

Apparently this is fixed in IcedTea 1.2pre, so once Fedora catches up
on this there should be a proper fix.
