Since there is no java64, but just java32, what you do is install firefox32, and then java32 for it, and just use firefox32.

Here's a really good guide on how to accomplish all of this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins?action=show&redirect=Firefox2AMD64Flash9Java

If you'll need help, feel free to post!

(also, note that after installing firefox32, the default firefox is still 64, with which java won't work. It says in the guide how to make firefox32 be default - I'm just pointing this out since it's a common error)
