May not help. I started another thread recently complaining that this
exact same site crashed the Sun Java 1.4.2_06 plugin in FF on ia32.
That's where I found the site. Thanks.
The solution was to move to the Sun Java 1.5.0_01 plugin. You might want
to try that before abandoning x86_64 entirely.
But, the way I read it, the release notes for AMD64 Sun Jave 1.5 RE and
DE both say they don't yet have plugins yet. (???) When I expanded the
1.5 runtime there was no "plugin" directory. I did not try the JDE but
maybe I should look to see if it does or does not supply plugins.
