You bug report doesn't provide enough details.
1) Attach docs in user-friendly format like jpeg/png/pdf/txt, not docx.
2) Provide a testcase (like HTML page serving your Java applet)

Remember Mozilla is not going to spend some time to fix bugs related to Java plugin due to the removal of NPAPI.

Even with a testcase, we don't have engineering resources to investigate Java bugs.
