this bug is still present on karmic. the problem is the postinst script
in the sun-java6-plugin package, which only installs an alternative in
/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/plugins, but not in the 'canonical' location for
plugins which is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

to fix this, line 6 of the postinst script should read:

browser_dirs="xulrunner-addons mozilla"

then the alternative would be installed in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins,
along with the xulrunner dir.

for reference:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/firefox_3.5_for_developers
states "Firefox now looks for plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins on Linux, as 
well as the previously supported locations.", which also applies to seamonkey2.
