I knew this was going to be something simple & stupid.
I finally went into firefox help itself (instead of googling around to
no avail) & it says to make sure java is enabled in preferences.

So I went to preferences & its TURNED OFF!
Turned it on, now about:plugins shows the jre.
Yay!

So setting up symlinks, selecting vm's, all that stuff has no effect
if java is turned off in the browser itself!
