Assuming you got the diablo-jdk or diablo-jre package installed, try
creating a symbolic link of  libjavaplugin_oji.so to
/usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins

On my system that would be in

/usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

for just the jre it would probably be in

/usr/local/diablo-jre1.6.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
