Well THAT'S gonna suck big time, seeing as how my company's payroll
site is a Java applet...
Which they should have been working on since last year to convert to
something else. They have until 2018.
Oracle recommends
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/deploy/applet_dev_guide.html#JSDPG1032>
that sites currently using Java applets consider switching to
plugin-free solutions such as Java Web Start

As we announced last year
<https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/10/08/npapi-plugins-in-firefox/>,
Firefox plans to drop support for all NPAPI plugins, except Flash, in
March 2017. The next major Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release
<https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/>) release,
also scheduled for March, will continue to support plugins such as
Silverlight and Java until early 2018, for those users who need more
time for their transition.

So, your company's payroll site is safe until 2018, as long as the
SeaMonkey developers decide to base the March 2017 release on the
Firefox ESR version.
