It appears you are using Windows Vista?

Of so then the most current version of Firefox you can run on Vista (and WinXP) was the old EOL Firefox 52.9.0 esr you appear to be using.

The Firefox versions since 530.0 and later has required Windows 7 at minimum to run. Either you can update Windows to 7 or later (windows 10 would be best option) or you could try dual booting with a light Linux distro to use the current versions of Firefox.

If you do try Linux, I suggest to use a lighter desktop like Xfce and not the heavier KDE or Gnome and make sure packages like FFmpeg is installed.
