I have done this :  Java Plugin DLL

In windows it seems that Java doesn't always overwrite the plugin DLL that
Firefox uses. Recently I installed 1.4.2_06 and no Java applets showed up at
all. I tried installing 1.5.0 and got the same result. After a little looking
around I found the file that wasn't being updated.

In the "Mozilla Firefox\plugins" directory there is a file call NPOJI610.DLL.
This is the Java plugin DLL. By copying this file from the jre version you want
running in Firefox into this plugins directory you effectively install that
version of Java for Firefox. You still need to ensure that Java is enabled in
the options for Firefox but after that it should work. Also, make sure Firefox
is not running when you try to copy this file over, it won't let you
overwrite/rename the old file while it is running. The DLL should be in the
"bin" directory under the jre directory of the version of Java that you want
installed. 
Thanks to this information, whoever posted this. 
Looks like problem with www.java.com and www.nimdta.com is solved.
Hope that this will be sorted out in next update of firefox.
