How do I get Java Applets working on FF4 Mac?

My website's photo upload applet uses Java to upload, and ever since FF4 beta releases, all the way up to the final, I get a missing plugin error. This error is ONLY on FF, it works on chrome and safari.

Clicking manual install goes to: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/download-138376.html

So in other words, the manual install is pointless.

How can I get these applets working?

PS. I'm downgrading till this is fixed. FF4 is useless to me without this ability. I always liked FF for the better upload ability over Safari and Chrome, so I'd love to be able to use it. :-)
