It is frustrating not have the firefox java plugin for AMD64. So living with that handicap for almost a year...finaly I decided to put a end to it.
With little browsing I found the black-down java distribution supports the 64 bit java plugin. I downloaded the distribution from here.
After downloading I executed the installer
sh j2re-1.4.2-03-linux-amd64.bin
This creates a subdirectory "j2re1.4.2". Move this to /usr/java
sudo mv j2re1.4.2 /usr/java/
Now create a softlink to the java plugin from firefox plugins directory...
ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/plugin/amd64/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
Restart firefox and type "about:plugins" to confirm proper installation.
