You got close. Look again and see if you see
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins
That's where you have to put the link... I just went through this.

Check /usr/lib and verify that you only have the one firefox
directory. Various repositories create directories in the form of
"firefox" or "firefox-xx.x". You may have Firefox installed in
multiple locations.
If there is only the firefox-0.10.1 directory, verify that the
symbolic links within plugins are valid:
# cd /usr/lib/firefox-0.10.1/plugins
# ls -l
There should be no red-colored text present. If there are, the link
associated with that file is broken. Use "find" or "locate" to
determine where file for broken link resides.
