Have you completely exited Mozilla and restarted it?  (Perhaps log out of your 
desktop to be sure.)

Also, you ran the above ln command in /opt/mozilla/plugins right, or you local 
plugin directory?

Otherwise, looks okay (ie, that is what my system has).

See http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html and 
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/java.html for more info.

Cheers,
