F14: how do I remove IcedTea plugin from FIreFox?

I have an applet that will not work with IcedTea. This applet is a remote
console applet spawned by the HP iLO web interface and is critical for my
work.

With F13, I was able to successfully install the Oracle jre and soft link
the correct plugin. 

Recently, I upgraded to F14. Of course, the Open jre with IcedTea came with 
F14, so I "yum erase" the jre and "rpm -ivh" the Oracle jre, just as I did
in F13, an soft linked to the correct plugin thus:

# ln -sf /usr/java/latest/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

... which is what I did in F13. 

However, I have actually removed everything from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
and from my /home/user/.mozilla/plugins directories, and I am still seeing
plugins in FireFox, most annoyingly, this one. 

    File: IcedTeaPlugin.so
    Version: 
    The IcedTea NPR Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea6 1.8 (fedora-41.b18.fc13-i386)) executes Java applets.

Appreciate any and all help ...
