Apart from the copying the dll files, you could try
setting the following pref in prefs.js/user.js and see if it helps.
// If you have JRE installed in your system, you can tell Mozilla to
// search for the JRE at startup so you don't have to keep installing
// again and again.
user_pref("plugin.do_JRE_Plugin_Scan", true);
