Linux 9.0 and j2re-1_4_2_06 or jre-1_5_0_01 HELP Please!

I have just started using Linux 9.0, and immediately installed the Firefox Web Browser and to get the best out of this installed j2re-1_4_2_06, made the link to the plugin as required and found Firefox did not seem to recognize it. I then tried to install Limewire and was informed that I could not as no jvm was installed.
I upgraded to jre-1_5_0_01 and did the same with the plugin after deleting the one installed at my previous atempt and Firefox will not start at all in the desk top and if run in a shell it just opens a shell window and closes it again. I tried to install Limewire again and was told the same no jvm message.
Can someone help please?

I have now deleted all plugins from the fiefox plugin directory but just by clicking move to trash on a right click, I then put all of them back using the cut on right click and used the rm command in terminal
to delete them all.
I should say that I use Red Hat 9.0 here not Linux 9.0,.
I then installed the Self-extracting Binary File and end up with the same problem, the only difference is that I installed it to my home folder, not /usr/java and I still get the same message.
Andy.
