Off course (stupid me) I messed up with my Java installation. I had to choose the 64-bit version at java.com by selecting "show all versions" and then pick it from the list. My not-so-smart Firefox automatically chose to download the 32-bit version when I updated Java.
Stupid me. But luckily it is now solved. Sorry for the inconvenience...
Eh... I have taken a screenshot of the message, but when I click "Image" to upload it here - it only wants me to write in a url... eh!
Well, the screenshot that I'm unable to upload says:
"Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occured. Program will exit."
And then it exits...
No suggestion as to what is wrong...
No hints as to where to look for an answer...
No nothing, really.
ANY tips on how to solve this will be appreciated.
I do have the latest Java release installed (SE 7 U55 - file version 7.0.550.14) as far as I know.
It's java.com that offers up a Java version that is compatible (as a plugin) for your browser.
If you visit with a 64bit browser, it will offer up the 64bit java.

You are correct here (as I figured out after a long time, and many frustrating tries at re-installing both Java and Minecraft).
My Firefox is a 32-bit browser, so it automatically tells java.com to install the 32-bit version (why didn't I think of that FIRST instead of LAST?).
Thanks for the explanation, though.
Have a nice day...
