64bit processors & Firefox & Plugins

[Michael Price]

I just bought laptop yesterday that is 64-bit so when I get around to install Ubuntu I will check this out and see what I can come up with and if need be I will make the changes needed. I should be installing Ubuntu either today or tomorrow at the latest.
 
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Hello,

Could some technical user please look at this page
 here please, and see if they can fix things up? The reason I'm asking is because one user today gave up on Ubuntu because we couldn't get Java working. We tried pretty much every guide google and forums search gave us, only in the end did we realise we had a 64 bit version of firefox, trying install 32 bit java. We tried to install 32 bit firefox (as 
via here), but they're flawed from the start - the getfirefox site, I suspect gives 64 bit users a 64 bit version files by default. At least, he got a different file then I did.


So if someone could take a look to sort the mess out, that's be great. I'm afraid I know nothing about 64bit, so I'm no help here, otherwise I would have myself.
