Thanks.  I thought it odd that the x64 was so much smaller.  But saw no explanation.  I'm sure I'd have figured it out, but I have enough rabbit holes to play in as it is.

 I generally stick to the latest ESR
 version, which is currently 24:
 
 https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest-esr/contrib/solaris_pkgadd/
 
 I have installed Java JDK 1.7u45 and it's working for me:
 
 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
 
 make sure you download the 32bit _and_ the 64bit
 
 jadams at jadlaptop:~/Downloads$ more install-jdk.sh
 #!/bin/bash
 
 DIRNAME=$(which $0)
 DIRNAME=$(dirname $DIRNAME)
 DIRNAME=$(cd $DIRNAME ; pwd)
 
 cd /usr/jdk/instances
 
 /usr/sfw/bin/gtar zxvf
 $DIRNAME/jdk-7u45-solaris-i586.tar.gz
 /usr/sfw/bin/gtar zxvf $DIRNAME/jdk-7u45-solaris-x64.tar.gz
 
 cd ..
 ln -s instances/jdk1.7.0_45
 
 rm latest
 ln -s jdk1.7.0_45 latest
 
 cd ..
 if [ -d java ] ; then
     mv java java.old
     ln -s jdk/latest java
 fi
 
 if [ ! -h /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/plugins/libnpjp2.so ] ; then
     mkdir -p /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/plugins/
     cd /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/plugins/
     ln -s /usr/java/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
 fi
 
 echo DONE!
