I can't find Java(TM) Platform plugin anymore, did they stop supporting it?

I am developing an app using Java Applet, it is said that it will stop supporting by End of 2016 (https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/10/08/npapi-plugins-in-firefox/), last week I was surprised that my work is not working anymore and I saw my add-ons list that "Java(TM) Platform plugin" is not there anymore. Is there anyway I can install manually this plug-in as I have tried reverting back to old Firefox Versions and re-install Java many times and it didn't work

Firefox 32-bit on Windows still supports Java, but the 64-bit version of Firefox only allows Flash and Silverlight Plugins - no Java support.
