Not sure if this is what you are experiencing, this was taken from Java https://java.com/en/download/help/firefox_java.xml
/Beginning with Firefox 52 (released March 2017), plug-in support is limited to Adobe Flash, and drops support for NPAPI, impacting plugins for Java, Silverlight, and other similar NPAPI based plugins.// <snip> ////
Firefox 52 ESR 32-bit release

Mozilla offers an Extended Support Release (ESR) https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/ version of Firefox specifically for use by organizations who need extended support for mass deployments. Only Mozilla Firefox 52 ESR 32-bit release will continue offering support for the standards-based plugin support technology required to launch Java Applets. To see if you are using an ESR release, check the Firefox menu item (Help -> About) and looking for the "ESR" identifier.
Mozilla maintains Firefox ESR Releases for approximately one year. Developers and users still relying on the Java plugin technology in the 32-bit Mozilla Firefox web browser should consider migrating to a different solution. * *

Even with 'ESR', it appears the writing is on the wall for Firefox with regards to Java.
