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.
1. Oracle recommend that java aps are run with Java Web Start, rather than
directly in a browser
https://java.com/en/download/faq/java_webstart.xml
Java Web Start has been available since Java 5, and Java 8 is the last
version which can be run in a browser.
2. Oracle are dropping free commercial support for Java 8 in January 2019

(non-free commercial and free non-commercial support will continue for two and
five years ...)
Java 9 is dead and Java 10 went EOL last month

I trust that you are looking at your java strategy further ahead,
ad well as solving the immediate problem with Firefox 60.
