To install the 64-bit java-plugin:

• Download the plugin
• cd /opt
• sudo sh location_of_download.bin
• cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
• sudo ln -s /opt/jre1.6.0_12/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
• Restart Firefox

Also I used Sun Java JRE, which is installed like this:

• sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
• sudo update-alternatives –config java
• Pick the one with sun java

If you have flashplugin-nonfree installed, now is a good time to remove it as we will be using the labs version:

~$ sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree


This leaves behind some junk. To remove them:

cd /usr/lib
sudo find . -name "npwrapper.libflashplayer.so" | xargs rm


And now install the plugin:

cp path_to_so_file_you_extracted.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins


Start firefox and have fun. Pandora.com no longer crashes:

And Hulu.com is working awesome:
