My experience is that some Java works on 64-bit and some does not. I |
| 12 |
can promise you that in my experience there is definately some Java |
| 13 |
out there that doesn't run correctly on AMD64. |

However if no Java is working it's probably a USE flags issue or a |
| 16 |
missing plugin. |

Navigate to an empty Firefox window and type about:pugins in the |

Hopefully there are enough pointers there to get it working. If you |

want to check specific sites then post back a URL. |
