    With version 52 of Mozilla Firefox released, the default installation has disabled support for NPAPI plugins.

    This means you will no longer be able to administer Microsoft Intune via the Firefox browser.

    https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Problems-with-add-ons-plugins-or/Why-do-Java-Silverlight-Adobe-Acrobat-and-other-plugins-no/ta-p/31069

    Thankfully, Mozilla do have an Extended Support Release (ESR) version. So to continue to use Mozilla Firefox to manage Microsoft Intune Silverlight, we suggest installing the ESR version rather than running an out-of-date browser.

    To install the ESR version, download the localized version from here

    …….

    Download Firefox Extended Support Release in your language
    Firefox ESR is intended for groups who deploy and maintain the desktop environment in large organizations.

    MOZILLA SUPPORT – ENGLISH

    Why do Java, Silverlight, Adobe Acrobat and other plugins no longer work?

    Beginning in Firefox version 52, support for NPAPI plugins in Firefox has ended, except for Adobe Flash. Some of the plugins that will no longer load include Java, Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Acrobat. See this compatibility document for details.
    Over the past few years, Firefox has implemented various Web APIs so that websites can do the same things they’ve always done without plugins, so you will most likely not notice any change to your browsing experience.

    Why did Firefox do this?

      Refer also to previous discussion on FF v.52:
      https://www.askwoody.com/forums/topic/firefox-52-does-it-seem-faster-to-anyone-else/

      Notes on limitations were mentioned, such as:

      On checking today, ESR v.52 is still in beta. The current ESR release is still 45.8.0 (from March 7th), available here.
