There is no official "Java addon" for modern Firefox. If a website asks you to download one, be extremely cautious, as these are often "malvertisements" or phishing attempts. For genuine legacy needs, consider using a dedicated virtualization environment or a browser specifically designed for legacy support, such as the Pale Moon browser or specific Extended Support Releases (ESR) of older browsers, though these come with significant security risks.
The era of using the Java browser plugin in Firefox has largely come to an end due to significant shifts in web security and browser architecture. Modern versions of Firefox no longer support the Java NPAPI plugin, which means there is no longer a simple addon you can download to run Java applets directly within the browser window. The Evolution of Browser Security
If you find yourself needing to access a legacy website or a corporate tool that requires Java, you cannot simply download an extension from the Firefox Add-ons store. Instead, you have to look toward specialized solutions or older environments.
