create symbolic link to <jre>/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so to ~/mozilla/plugins

but still JAVA plugin is not visible on about:addons > Plugins page.

Hmm it appears you are trying to use the 32-bit Java Plugin when you have 64-bit Firefox.

Also use the about:plugins so Firefox will scan for any Plugin updates, especially if Firefox was running when you added Plugins.
