Open a terminal and run this command:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin

This should install the Java plugins for Mozilla Firefox and all necessary dependencies... You may need to restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.

I hope this helps,

If the previously proposed command do not work, try these steps (in retrospect, I should have posted them to begin with):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin

Good luck,
Grasswistle

Here, this solved my java problem:
Open your terminal and copy and paste this in
there.
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts

Then when asked to except the terms click F12 and then arrow to
the left and hit enter.

That should do it for you....

Can I ask why are you using two browsers.
FF is the best in my opinion. It has no
candidate because it does not know which
browser to use. That be my thought.

I deleted Chromium my self, and just
using FireFox. Or make one your main
browser so it knows where to install.

Don't need two browsers any ways..

Mohit,

You need to add the Partner repository in 10.04 LTS to install sun-java stuff.

Step 1 - add partner repo
System / Administration / Software Sources -- Other Software tab -- check "http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner"

Step 2 - update your apt database, press the Reload button after making above change or "sudo apt-get update"

Step 3 - then you should find: sun-java6-jre, sun-java6-jdk and sun-java6-plugin (web plugin)
