You shouldn't have to do any manual linking or copying. Install the
icedtea-web package and it should just work. I've been using it for a
long time.
I have installed the icedtea-web package and have placed a link from the
firefox plugins directory to where the icedtea-web package installs the
plugin. This needs to be done because the upstream version of 64 bit
firefox is compatible with Ubuntu and not with Fedora.
