Up until yesterday I've been using Firefox ESR 52.1.0 (64-bit) in order to access a VPN I need for work, which requires a Java plugin. I'm also running Firefox Developer Edition 54.0a2 (2017-04-20) (64-bit).Yesterday I updated Java to 'Version 8 Update 131 (build 1.8.0_131-b11)', and I can longer use Java plugins on any version of Firefox, which means I can no longer access the VPN.

Firefox 11 is disabling Java plugin versions that are below version 1.6 Update 31 or between 1.7.0 and 1.7.2 for Windows computers only. Mac OS X computers are not currently affected by this Firefox update. We recommend upgrading to the newest versions of both Firefox and Java. However, administrators of Windows computers that require these.
It was my understanding that The ESR versions of Firefox would continue to support Java through into 2018, but this has not been my experience.
Are there any specific issues with these versions of Firefox that prevent Java Plugins from working, or is this an issue with that version of Java itself?
Thanks!
Java Plugin For Firefox Mac Os Versions
Continuing with our effort to eradicate vulnerable versions of the Java plugin, we are now blocking it for all versions of Mac OS X. We had previously blocked it for old Mac OS X versions because they would not be updated anyway, and we were holding off on updating modern versions because of a bug in the Add-ons Manager that is now fixed in Firefox 12.

All users of Mac OS X 10.6 and above should have already been prompted to install this update. In order to avoid the block, please update immediately using Software Update. If for some reason you need to continue using an old version of the plugin, you can re-enable it in the Add-ons Manager.
