This morning Sun officially released Java 6 for download after over two years of development. The Java 6 development cycle has been the most open of any Java release with weekly builds available to the public and extensive collaboration between Sun and over 330 external developers. Sun has worked with over 160 companies to ensure backwards compatibility, stability and optimum performance of applications running on the JVM.

There still is no 64-bit firefox plugin on any platform. There is support for 64-bit IE.
That's why the GPL release of Java is a long-awaited thing. I suspect you will see more direct Java hooks in Firefox and other worthwhile browsers as a result, and no doubt there will be a release of a 64 bit plugin directly compiled on your operating system of choice if you are using *nix or Macintosh.
In a few months, complaints like yours will likely be no more.
