Just to clarify, I don't want the page gone, I merely want the Java
(and Flash) instructions consolidated in a single location. There are
a great many people who might just want one or the other. Here is the
way forward I see:

1. Create a page called FirefoxAMD64
2. Link above page to Java
3. Link above page to RestrictedFormats for Flash

That sound good?
