Cannot run even old applets anymore without fixing Java. I get an error message stating the issue is my browser is 32-bit while I'm running 64-bit Java. I use 64-bit for other programs and frequently re-installing just for Firefox is not a reasonable option. Please provide new releases, I've seen posts related to this dating back almost a year. Thanks much.
