Firefox 52 began its roll out yesterday, bringing a bunch of small iterative improvements to the fore.
Among the most significant change in the release is the decision to disable support for all NPAPI plugins bar Adobe Flash by default.

NPAPI plug-in side API This chapter describes methods in the plug-in API that are available from the plug-in object; these allow plug-ins to interact with the browser. The names of all of these methods begin with NPP to indicate that they are implemented by the plug-in and called by the browser.
This is a good move in the round as NPAPI is a terribly outdated technology (over 20 years old, in fact). Whatever bonuses these plugins, Flash, Silverlight and Java among them, offered have been long since outweighed by the inherent security flaws manipulated to malicious ends.
Google Chrome ditched NPAPI support back in 2014 (and the version of Flash that ships pre-bundled uses the newer PPAPI tech).

“But there is a way to enable Java, Silverlight etc NPAPI plugins in Firefox 52 using an about:config setting. Spelunky html5. Add new Boolean string 'plugin.load_flash_only' and set it to false. Then restart the browser.”
That’s it; assuming your NPAPI plugins are installed correctly they should work as before. What is a 1934 $20 bill worth.
It’s a Short Term Solution

In Firefox 53, Mozilla will remove this workaround. Consider this a short-term, stop gap solution. If you think you’ll need a little longer to transition away from such plugins you should download Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release), where NPAPI plugins will continue to work for another year.
