Hello there,

Firefox 52 removed support for Netscape Plugin API (NPAPI) plugins other than Flash. Silverlight, Java, Acrobat and the like are no longer supported.

You will need to use another browser for your Java content, like Internet Explorer, which is one of the few remaining browsers to support the Java plugin.

If this solved your problem, please mark as solution.

Hi,

If you really need Java, you could use the Firefox ESR version, which you download here :
