So it sounds like the links needed for the plugin to work are not configured on the system. So you have some symlinks pointing to the openjdk with the system and some pointing the one you tried to install. I don't know how you installed this new jdk so it may be for many different reasons.
I installed it by downloading the rpm and installing that. IBM said on my older FF the app/plugin is called JNLP and I should change the setting for that to 'always ask' and then when it asks use javaws - I did that but it still fails.
Again, please enter 'about:plugins' in the address bar of your browser to make sure, that the right java version is activated.
But normally javaws is a different topic. As far as i remember, there should be an option to let firefox ask, which javaws should be executed. As i understand, you have different version installed.
And at last, please check the security options with jcontrol. Newer java version are more restricted about security settings.
