These truly are the end times for TLS 1.0, 1.1: Firefox hopes to 'eradicate' weak HTTPS standard by blocking it

Why?

Your supplier/vendor in the supply chain will have to fix it- they wont until they have to.

OR your teams that you are supporting who are using the old protocols are not re-enginerring themselves to the vendor/suppliers new product - usually because its 'inconvenient' (which is often wrapped in 'its not possible').

OR your policy says that connection to X for purpose Y must be encrypted (usually for some external compliance piece like PCI) and now it is being exposed that it isnt, so you need to find a 'better' solution.

Use IE11 if you are stuck - keep Firefox for the day to day stuff.
