64 bit early access : https://jdk6.dev.java.net/6uNea.html (http://download.java.net/jdk6/index.html)
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1011899
cd /opt
sudo sh ~/jre-6u18-ea-bin-b01-linux-amd64-20_aug_2009.bin
So you wind up with /opt/jre1.6.0_18
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
sudo ln -s /opt/jre1.6.0_18/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
(restart firefox)
Tools > add-ons > Plugins > enable the plugin if not enabled

Solution 2 : icedTea (seems to not work on all sites, especially logmein)
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=774956
(Install of 1.4.1 64 bit java plugin)
The easiest way to download OpenJDK and Icedtead (the plugin) is Applications > Add/Remove > Change the Show box to either “All OpenSource Applications” or “All Available Applications” (The former is also known as Universe and contains free (as in speech) applications, while the latter is also known as Multiverse and contains proprietary appliations.) > Search: Icedtea > click on the boxes next to OpenJDK and Icedtea > apply changes > apply > close.
