I checked this on one of my 32-bit machines. It works great. Same Java
installed so it seems to be an AMD64 issue. Note that the AMD64 box
uses firefox-bin while the 32-bit machine uses Firefox from source.

dragonfly ~ # emerge -pv blackdown-jre

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] dev-java/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.02  +browserplugin
-mozilla -nsplugin 0 kB
