I think sticking to ESR releases of Firefox could be a good approach for 
keeping up with the release schedules. Even though it's not 100% trivial to 
set up a system where you run the release channel and ESR at the same time, 
it is still quite manageable and you only need to do it once.

I do also believe that we are approaching the moment where it would be 
possible to do JVM dev mode without a plugin in the browser. My experiment 
at https://github.com/Legioth/devmodejs shows that there are only two 
essential features missing from Firefox: Weak references 
(http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:weak_references) to enable 
garbage collection in the JVM and some way of doing synchronous websocket 
communication (or some other synchronous communication method that does not 
require a new HTTP request for each round trip).
