I was trying to find the missing symlinks as well and things were
getting a bit hairy for me on that path.   Then someone updated Bug
#334783 with their findings, and buried in there, I was able to deduce
to try the following command:

"/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --auto javaplugin"

When I restarted Firefox, my missing java plugin was back and happy.

Give it a shot and see if that cleans up the problem.
