If you install blackdown-jre and firefox, you still cannot use java with firefox, because the symlink in /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/plugins is missing!
You need to do this:

emerge blackdown-jre
cd /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/plugins 
ln -s /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.01/plugin/i386/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so javaplugin_oji.so 
enter about:plugins in firefox -> it works :)

you need to merge blackdown-jre with mozilla useflag
(soon to be renamed to browserplugin or something)
