I had a problem with the same thing. Trying the auto-install method kept
crapping out after downloading that whole thing, and then it would have
to be downloaded again. So I also used wget to download it.
what I found that worked for installing it was to start mozilla and
choose "open file" and open the xpi file that way. I ran mozilla as
root, so it would be installed in the mozilla application directory. If
you run it as user I imagine it might still work, and install to your
~/.mozilla, but maybe not.
You can probably just do this as root:
mozilla /path/to/jre131_02.xpi
