Can't you just use the Linux binary of the browser and then
use the Linux java support? That's what I do on i386, so I
can use all the Linux plugins etc. (I don't have an amd64
machine, so I can't say for sure, but it _should_ work
there as well.)
(Personally I'm using Opera for which a FreeBSD/i386 binary
exists, but the Linux binary has been proven to be more
stable in my environment anyway.)
Best regards
