This isn't quite true. 64bit konqueror can use 64bit java. Also I hear
there's a java plugin for 64bit mozilla in icetea.

You should be able to select the 32bit version in the (Qt/ncurses, not
gtk) yast -> software management, under the versions tab. There is an
intermittent bug with selecting the appropriate version though. Which
several people have reported with symptoms such as yours of
downlodaing the wrong architecture. When you select the version make
sure the package is also set to "update" state. In worst case, remove
firefox completely & reinstall selecting the 32bit version.
