I believe that this is the Mozilla Maintenance service, but you'll also have to make sure that it doesn't DL when the user goes to "About Firefox." There are a few different ways to do this -- but I use CCK2/Autoconfig. Edge won't run Java either so you're probably stuck on IE 11.

Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Firefox auto updating issue
You can turn off autoupdates in Firefox. Are you currently doing any Firefox management via Autoconfig or something similar?

[Mozilla Enterprise] Firefox auto updating issue
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. We then have to roll the user back to version 52.9 ESR for them to be able to work. I have tried various fixes to prevent it from updating again but it keeps auto updating to newer versions that do not work. 1. Is there a new version that we can roll to that will not make Oracle stop functioning? 2. If not, can you help me in keeping it on an older version that does work? If not we will have to swap the whole company over to IE and will be uninstalling Firefox to avoid further issues.
