sounds like you may not have the correct files/links in your plugin 
directory.
whats the output of
ls -l /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins

and

ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/

if /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins doesnt have a symlink like
libjavaplugin_oji.so@ -> 
/usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
then try
cd /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins && ln -s 
/usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.solibjavaplugin_oji.so

and restart firefox and look at
about:plugins
