I'm like to ask what people are using for Java plugin with Firefox.diablo-jre-freebsd6.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz
There were a few recent threads on this subject but no definitive answer:

I tried compiling jdk15 port and was able to build it and install it
successfully. However, when trying to load a java applet in Firefox,
the browser seemingly crashes (exits). I then tried following the
method described in the handbook by downloading the
package from FreeBSD Foundation website and adding it with pkg_add.7.0-PRERELEASE/BETA?
Trying to load java applets crashes Firefox. In both cases,
javavmwrapper was installed and about:plugins in Firefox shows that
java plugin is installed. Is there a working combination for
My system is:

Currently with jre from FreeBSD foundation site:
# pkg_info | grep jre
diablo-jre-1.5.0.07.01 Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0_07.01
I found an answer off-list. In case anyone is wondering, I had to first
install java/diablo-jdk15 (with compat6x), then install java/jdk15. After
that, I simply removed diablo-jdk15 and added a symlink to
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins in order for Firefox to recognize the browser
plugin. Works great now. Many thanks to Vlad Galu for the answer.
