read the release notes and the information provided by mozilla.

They turned off most of the plugins - in fact all old plugins except
flashplayer do not work since firefox v 52.
firefox-esr is intended to support all old plugins as up to v52.
Debian decided to drop iceweasel/firefox and it was replaced by firefox-esr.
Use the instructions mentioned in this thread to install esr package.
