Firefox and java applets under AMD 64

I installed Dapper on my AMD Turion based laptop.  Recently I discovered
that there isn't a java plugin for this platform.  I would like to have
java work on web pages where applets are used.  So I was looking into
this.  I understood that the Opera browser doesn't require a plugin, but
hasn't been released for this platform either.  

So I was thinking about installing a 32 bit version of Firefox.  I assume
this will solve the problem.  Is there any reason not to do this?  I
assume all the plugins will work under this platform?  

I would prefer to stick with 64 bit applications, but I guess I'm not tied
to this option.  Apparently Sun doesn't think we want a 64 bit desktop and
neither does Opera.  

Thanks for any suggestions.
