Due to a personal preference, I still feel that the Oracle/SUN JRE is superior to OpenJDK.
It is a pain to enable Oracle/Sun JRE plugin for Firefox in Fedora 15; they just force you to do their OpenJDK and IcedTea for browser. For some sites, unfortunately, these FOSS variants just won't work .
To enable the "real" JRE support for FF, just create a symbolic link of the plugin lib from $JAVA_HOME to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins e.g. :
ln -s $JAVA_HOME/lib/amd64/default/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
Ensure that your JAVA_HOME variable is defined.

If you install Fedora from DVD the IcedTea FOSS Java plugin will be installed. If you install from Live CD no Java Runtime nor Java plugin will be installed.
