what file did you download (more details please)
it would be a good idea to copy paste your commands and resulting errors here along with an ls -al of the directory you are in (plus pwd to see what directory it is)
so do this
Code:
pwd
ls -al
then paste that here, plus do the commands (chmod +x..... ) and paste the output here
cheers

Ok, now it worked but when i restarted firefox and went to about:plugins I didn't see java anywhere

thats because you have probably linked it (ln -s) to the wrong plugin,
as I've asked already, PASTE the commands you have tried here so we can see what you are doing, it's hard to guess what you are doing,
in addition, WHICH jave download did you try with ?

I'm doing the instructions you have at the top, word for word except the file name.
The java is j2re-1_4_2_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin

firefox 5 on x86_64 requires the 32 bit plugin
/usr/java/<latest version>/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
The Linux x64 rpm does not include it.
attempting to install the 32 version after you have already installed the 64 bit version
Code:
./jre-6u26-linux-i586-rpm.bin
tells you
Code:
package jre-1.6.0_26-fcs.i586 is already installed
work around
extract the files from the rpm
Code:
rpm2cpio jre-6u26-linux-i586.rpm | cpio -idmv
copy the i386 directory to the latest release directory
Code:
cp -R ~/Downloads/usr/java/jre1.6.0_26/lib/i386 /usr/java/jre1.6.0_26/lib/
update the link in your ~/.mozilla/plugins
Code:
ln -sf /usr/java/jre1.6.0_26/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so .
about:plugins to verify
voila
