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.//

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. *
