Firefox tells met that I have outdated Java software, but when I attempt to download and install the new version (8.0.1720.11) it finishes with the message "Something went wrong and the update failed. Please try again. Repeating the steps above result in the same message

Because you are running Windows XP, your system is no longer compatible with the Java software. The good news is that few websites actually use Java anymore, so you can usually disable it on Firefox without any issues.
