? I don't understand. Both the jre and jdk packages are available in 64-bit. Are you saying that they work, but that the browser plugin that comes with them does not? That'd be annoying for me, but not catastrophic. Any workaround that you know of?

64bit JRE/JDK doesn't include browser plugin at all. This is 5 year old bug/feature request now: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4802695

The workaround is not to use official Sun's JRE/JDK :)

Just wondering: is there any way to also install the 32-bit jre/jdk (and firefox) and use those when this functionality is needed? Thanks, DR
