I can still access the same page with OPERA without any trouble.


You must be fairly new to the list. This has been covered many times,
the 64bit version of Firefox does not yet have 64bit plugins for java
and flash. You will need to install the 32bit version of Firefox for
them to work.

You might want to check out nspluginwrapper for flash. I can not verify anything
for the Java portion since I do not generally do not visit sites with Java that
I am aware of.
