You need to do a symlink from /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so to wherever you've installed Firefox 2.0 and its plugins directory.
Yes, exactly.
Stan - or others - how do I globally symbolicaly link the default plugins directory to my new one?
For example, I have a bunch of plugins (including Java) in /usr/lib/broweser-plugins
I did a symbolic link to java by going to the /home/kai/apps/firefox/plugins directory and typing ln -s /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
How do I get the rest?

The same way - manually in a konsole window. Per user: cd ~/.mozilla/plugins ln -s /usr/lib/browser-plugins/ and use tab completion to pick the ones you want, one at a time, then press Enter. System wide, as root: cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins -or- cd /usr/lib/seamonkey/plugins -then- ln -s /usr/lib/browser-plugins/ and use tab completion to pick the ones you want, one at a time, then press Enter. Don't know if there is an automated way to populate Mozilla browsers. Konqueror gets its plugins when it scans the list of folders you edit (Settings, Configure Konqueror, Plugins) either when you tell it to or if the check box to 'Scan for new plugins at KDE startup' is checked.
