Looks like it is in place. Couple of things to try next. Can you paste
the output of 'rpm -qV icedtea-web'?

Next, delete pluginreg.dat, close all FF instances and restart it from
commandline:
ICEDTEAPLUGIN_DEBUG=true firefox 2>&1 | tee plugin.log

and try about:plugins again (it will be blank, I don't expect
otherwise) and then can you please post plugin.log?
