create a symbolic link (ln -s) to libjavaplugin_oji.so (located in your
java plugin directory) within Firefox's plugin directory.

e.g. (example below is one line)
ln -s /opt/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Test Firefox's awareness of the plugin by typing "aboutlugins" (sans
quotes) as a URL in Firefox or navigating to a Java test website (e.g.
Sun's).
