If I remember correctly, the DRAC wants Java 6 Update 11. Give that version a shot and see what it does? Also you can just switch to ActiveX aka Native mode.

Yup, use the latest Sun's JRE (or IcedTea 1.0.2 and above).
BTW: Is there a chance that Dell will fix the issue with Chrome? (you cannot open a console with Chrome and the Java plugin).

Hi, I encountered the same thing with Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit with Firefox 3.6.22 and here's how I got it to work. YMMV.
Install Sun's version of Java. Good instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
To make sure your system is configured for Sun Java:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
Then select the number for java-6-sun.
In the location bar of Firefox: about:plugins
Determine which version of Sun Java Plugin you have installed.
If it says "IcedTea NPR Browser Plugin...", then remove this plugin from the browser or remove it entirely with Synaptic.
Restart Firefox.
Firefox should be able to find the new version of Java and install the appropriate plugin. If not, then you may need to install it manually.
If so, you may see "Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_26" in about:plugins.
Now try to use the DRAC virtual console in.
If you still can't, you may need to manually copy some Firefox DRAC plugin files.
There's a good tutorial here: http://techblog.roethof.net/dell-drac5-and-firefox-on-linux/
Try to use the DRAC virtual console again.
