windows 7 firefox 32 bit application requires plug-in

i recently installed java jre1.8.0.141 in a firefox 32 bit browser (version 54.0.1(32 bit)):
download was:jdk-8u141-windows-i586 and installed it.
  However, when i launch the web intranet application i get:
   java enabled: false (java plug-in is required to launch native applications).  
when i check plug-in, i don't have java plug-ins to enable.

before i launch the application i have to vpn to our internal network.  
Please help

anything prior to 52

If so the actual java files and links

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/51.0.1/win32/

just select which language you need; use the same java download you tried before
you just need the older version of firefox

You need to Install java 32 bit plugin in Firefox 32 bit browser.

did you read what i posted earlier?  NPAPI plugins are no longer supported in firefox 52 and above
