diablo-jdk/-jre does not have Mozilla plugin for amd64.  You
have to 
build *JDK* from ports with plugin support, i.e.,
ports/java/jdk15 or 
ports/java/jdk16.

I've installed jdk15 and the plugin worked immediately.
Thanks a lot, because this means I can continue using my
FreeBSD desktop iso switching to a linux pc whenever I
needed to work at home.
