Yes they do. Java works just fine in FF and Konqueror on my AMD64
system. You can use the Blackdown JDK (1.4) if necessary, which is good
enough for most things. You can also use the nspluginwrapper to
use 32bit plugins on a 64bit browser.

Lisi, in Konqueror you can set the directories it scans for plugins
in Settings->Configure Konqueror->Plugins, though by default I think
it uses the Mozilla plugin directories.
