So I have the current JRE (6_24) installed correctly, and the sym links to libnpjp2.so in the correct locations for Firefox. I've tried the links in Firefox's directory plugin folder and my home directory's plugin folder but the Java plugin just will not work with Firefox. I've removed and cleaned both the JRE and FF, reinstalled and tried again but still no success. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem and come to a solution.

Did you try to create a plugins folder in the Firefox installation folder and place the symlink in that folder?

Yes, I've tried every combination of placing symlinks in the installations directory, the mozilla directory, home directory, firefox addons directory. The primary directory that FF looks for plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and there is a working symlink in there as well.

Is your Linux 32-bit or 64-bit, and is your Firefox 32-bit or 64-bit? If you're using Firefox 32-bit on a Linux 64-bit system, then you can't use your OS's java plugin packages for Firefox. You'll have to download a 32-bit Java, extract it by hand somewhere, and then mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins and symlink to the .../lib/i386/libnpjp2.so file from inside there.
