I don't know much about this icedtea java stuff. I read it includes a
browser plug-in with the rpm? Is this the same plugin as the java one
from sun, or at least works the same?

That is the java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin package.
It isn't the same plugin code as the sun one since sun hasn't released their
code (yet). This is the gcjwebplugin code made to work with the openjdk code
base. We do hope it works the same, if not please do report bugs!
http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla
One known issue is that the plugin doesn't support Liveconnect, the Javascript -
Java bridge.

I've got it installed now and removed the sun java link and it did load.
Even tested to see if it's loaded on sun's java page and was successful.
So far so good I guess.

Worked OK with konqueror without any setup, but how to get firefox to notice
it? Firefox still brings me to "install missing plugins".

Worked okay on firefox for me. After installing
java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin, a symlink was automagically created
in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins from libjavaplugin.so
-> /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 ... and
from /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so.x86_64
-> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-icedtea.x86_64/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so
Tested some applets on firefox and they were okay.

See -

At-least I tested the IcedTea web plugin on F8-rawhide, at it works like
charm for most usage, but it did not worked for an Oracle legacy app
at my work.
The legacy app in question did detected the plugin an fired the applet
but the app seems to have faced some in-compatibilities. I'll be glad to
know if its possible to have any workarounds.
