Version 52 removed support for Netscape Plugin API (NPAPI) plugins other than Flash. That means that Silverlight, Java, Acrobat and the like are no longer supported.
If you want to revert to an older version, you can get 51.0.1 from this link -- https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/rel ... 0.1/win32/

You can go to about:config and add a new preference called plugin.load_flash_only as a boolean variable and set it to false. It's only a workaround for now though, don't know how long it will last.

With 53 actual plugin code was removed so 52 is the last safe version where you can use it for all plugins.

Or to be more safer with having security updates use the Firefox 52.0 ESR instead. The Firefox 52.0 ESR allows you to run Plugins like before.

If you're using the ESR version, you will still get (security) updates on that, & for the length of time that 52 ESR persists, you do want to have it update, so turn updates back on (& see if you don't get a 52.0.1 ESR - today, or tomorrow, or so ).
(A 52 ESR will not update to a FF 53 or 54... It will only update on the ESR branch, so until the next time a new ESR level is reached, you should be OK with your Plugin.)

Fire 750, bring back 250.
