I had the symlink pointing to itself. After the number of times that I have done this to myself you would think I would have learned by now to watch out for this but no, it seems I am doomed to repeat this over and over again. Arghhhhh! Anyway I removed the faulty symlink and created the correct one in the /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.7/plugins/ directory and everything works fine now (the Java Console shows up on the Tools menu and Firefox passes the Java.com web test). Now to document the whole process to make sure I can repeat it. Thanks for your help!
