I currently have 52.7.4esr (32-bit) but want to download Firefox 59.0.2. I'm redirected to 52.7.4 esr(32-bit) when I try to download 59.0.2?
I'm trying to download the most recent Firefox 59.02, but when I go to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/59.0.2/releasenotes/ and click on the Download Firefox button I get the download-installer for 52.7.4esr (32-bit). I need Firefox 59 to access an Estate Sale website
I have a Windows 7 laptop 64bit operating system
Thanks for your advise to successfully get Firefox 59.0.2

The current Firefox will not work on Win XP.
As of Firefox 53 in March 2017, WinXP and Vista won't be supported any longer. http://www.ghacks.net/2016/09/27/firefox-53-no-support-for-windows-xp-or-vista/

I have Windows 7, not WinXP or Vista. But I'm guessing Windows 7 is lumped in as not being any longer supported. Thanks.
The issue is your useragent (in you More System Details on right of post) is being displayed as if you have Firefox 52 on Windows XP. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Perhaps either you or a useragent switcher extension has modified the useragent to show as Firefox 52.0 on Windows XP. Firefox 53.0 and later Releases requires Windows 7, 8 (8.1), 10.

Another reason could be due to the privacy.resistFingerprinting being toggled in about:config from the default in which one of the things this does is change the useragent to show as if you were using Firefox 52.0
Type about:config with a : in Location (address) bar and filter for privacy.resistFingerprinting and right-click this Preference and select Reset.
Also possible that you could be running Firefox in Windows XP compatibility mode on Windows 7. https://support.microsoft.com/help/15078/windows-make-older-programs-compatible
If necessary, you can download Firefox 59.0.2 using Internet Explorer. Don't want to miss a good sale!
