If you read the notes that show up when you install the JRE, you'll know that it doesn't automatically install the needed links to enable the plugin. This is due to each version of the JRE using the same name for the plugin.

So, you need to manually symlink the plugin .so that you want to use into ~/.mozilla/plugins/

For example, the following enabled JRE 1.6.0 plugin for Firefox:
$ ln -s /usr/local/diablo-jre1.6.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

Obviously, change the directory to match the browser that you use.
