Yes, I think you have started to confuse yourself...and potentially others.  :-)

First, the Sun Java plugin is supposed to be in the location you indicate above.

Second, I *think* you have placed a symbolic link in your ~/.mozilla/plugins 
directory pointing to it since I *think* have have indicated that typing 
"about:plugins" in FF shows the existence of both gcjwebplugin.so and 
libjavaplugin_oji.so.

As I've already mentioned, I've not tried working on a system with both 
Sun's Java stuff and open Java stuff installed on the same system.

So, why don't you simply uninstall the open-java stuff and try using *only* 
Sun's Java?  I have mentioned that it *does* work here on both of the sites 
you indicated.
