Designer will no longer launch with the latest update of FireFox. Searching this forum and on line the only information I can find is that Firefox will no longer support .jnlp files and consequently no longer offer the plug-in for the latest FF versions. Is there a work around for this? ---

Like Phil said, the NCL is your best bet. But you should still be able to download the jnlp file for the designer and then double click that to open – once you’ve downloaded the file, Firefox isn’t involved at all.
