Anybody running firefox 3.5 x86_64 on amd, with java?

I'm running 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5 x86_64 on an AMD box. 
I just installed Firefox 3.5:

   Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64);
   en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5

And now I am rebuilding plugins (from scratch).  I downloaded
a new Sun java and installed it:

java -version
   java version "1.6.0_14"
   Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
   Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)

And tried doing the usual symlink from /opt/firefox/plugins:

  ln /usr/java/jre1.6.0_14/lib/amd64/libjavaplugin_jni.so \
  libjavaplugin_jni.so 

(well, not usual, I am used to libjavaplugin_oji.so, but that
 seemed close...)

When I ran firefox from the command line, it started but showed no
plugins on the about:plugins line.  It threw an error to the shell:

   LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library 
   /usr/java/jre1.6.0_14/lib/amd64/libjavaplugin_jni.so
   [/usr/java/jre1.6.0_14/lib/amd64/libjavaplugin_jni.so:
    wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64]


I next tried a different symlink suggested by another site:

   libnpjp2.so -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_14/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so

which resulted in:

   LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
   /usr/java/jre1.6.0_14/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
   [/usr/java/jre1.6.0_14/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so:
    wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64]

Well, there are another 30 .so 's in that directory, I'm not trying
all of them.

Does anybody know what that error means?  Low class elves?

Has anyone got Firefox 3.5 and Java working with x86_84 ?
