[COLUG] Problem with Firefox Finding JRE

[Ed Liddle]

On Java's web site it notes this about 64 bit versions of linux. 
Solaris 64-bit/x64 and Linux x64 download:  Please use the 32-bit
version for Java applet and Java Web Start support. 
http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

I hope this may help.
