Yes. https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/52.9.0/system-requirements/

However the legacy Firefox 52 ESR is pretty much End Of Life or EOL as of Sept 5th with no more updates for security and or stability fixes.

Firefox 62.0 Release and 60.2.0 ESR will be the current versions this week.

But support for Firefox 52 ESR ends very soon. On Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10, and on MacOS and Linux, Firefox ESR should update itself to Firefox 60 ESR in the next week or two.

Yes and it will not just stop working.

However there will be no more updates for security and allowed stability fixes. So it will get more vulnerable over time.

Also it is already behind on some changes like not supporting TLS 1.3 as Firefox 60.0 and later does.
