[Mozilla Enterprise] Firefox auto updating issue

[Jason Jackson]

As others have said, Oracle and Mozilla have given years of advance notice for the end of plugins.

In my own experience, when the developer has abandoned the web app that requires it, I've been able to create my own workaround by finding the .jar file in the page source, and opening that with Java Web Start.  This works for some things but not others.

Subject: [Mozilla Enterprise] Firefox auto updating issue

Hello,

My company, GDC Technics, has been having issues with Firefox auto updating to version 60+ for the last few weeks. When this happens our entire organization is unable to launch Java functionality in Oracle and they are unable to work.

We then have to roll the user back to version 52.9 ESR for them to be able to work. I have tried various fixes to prevent it from updating again but it keeps auto updating to newer versions that do not work.


1.       Is there a new version that we can roll to that will not make Oracle stop functioning?

2.       If not, can you help me in keeping it on an older version that does work?

If not we will have to swap the whole company over to IE and will be uninstalling Firefox to avoid further issues.

Best Regards,
