After update of firefox to 52 Java does not work

Firefox 52 doesn't support Silverlight anymore, and pipelight is officially dead. How can a FreeBSD user watch Netflix videos now? I assume that despite the fact that Firefox 52 supposedly includes google widevine cdm, it is closed-sourced, and a FreeBSD user won't be able to install it and use it.

Yes, and it's even more disappointing, mentioning that Netflix itself uses FreeBSD…

By the way, is it a time to remove these IcedTed, Moonlight (I don't know was it capable of something useful anyway, not for greedy Netflix) etc. ports now?
 
Java can be enabled in firefox with plugin.load_flash_only set to false. Also, ports have www/firefox-esr
Actually, I think java in browser deprecation is a long term doing. It's heavily used in banking. Personally, I have bank account that still require ActiveX components for document sign and it's number 2 bank in my country.

is it a time to remove these IcedTed
IcedTea runs in standalone mode. I use it to manage my Cisco ASA
