While I can't say anything about javaws, the 64-bit Flash plugin from 
Adobe and the 64-bit OpenJDK from SL worked just fine for me.  If your 
Firefox profile has gotten used to Sun's JDK then it's trained to look 
in the wrong place for Java stuff, but it seems that new profiles don't 
appear to suffer from this problem.  YMMV.
