Thank you for the link to Firefox ESR.

It's easy enough to reinstall Firefox v30, many do as v31 breaks much, and it's 
possible that v35 will have a fix, but the larger issue is that critical 
firmware management functions can depend on 3rd party software which breaks 
those functions.  Another case is the Cisco Firewall Service Module (EOL, but 
nevertheless works well) for a 6500 switch which cannot be managed with java 7, 
as well as HP/Brocade FC switches with older firmware. HP ILO2 also suffers from 
java problems.  One can unknowingly become cornered at just the wrong time.
