Problems with Java Plugin for Firefox in FC4 X86_64

Ive read numberous of threads about this problem, but cant find one that helps me.

I used the Stanton Finly method but downloaded the JAVA JRE for AMD64 instead of the file suggested on that post.

Its the symbolic link step that I can't do.
ln -s /opt/jre1.5.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

1. There is no plugin directory in /opt/jre1.5.0_06/ directory, only bin , lib and a man directory.

2. There is also no plugins directory in my mozzila directory. In fact I don't even have a mozilla directory, only mozzila-1.7.12/ and a mozzila-1.7.8/ in my /usr/lib directory. (and there is only 1 file inside of those ; libnssckbi.so file).

Sun doesn't provide a browser plugin in its 64bit JavaVM.
Blackdown does, use this VM if you need the plugin.
