Hmm.  So I've got the plugin installed from the current diablo-jre16 port
and firefox35 doesn't find it.  What does your set up look like?  For me
its:

> ls -l /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  63 Nov  8 10:50 /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/local/diablo-jre1.6.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Are you using it from jdk16 perhaps?

They don't build it because Sun doesn't include it...
