I'm on 10.13 and the current version of Firefox works just fine. Download it and try. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

Firefox since Fx 79.0 and later including the current Fx 98 and Fx 91 ESR requires macOS 10.12 (ten.twelve) at minimum.

Besides updating your OS to macOS 10.12 (ten.twelve) or later, the most current Firefox version you can install on macOS 10.11.6 is Fx 78.15.0 ESR though it is EOL with no more updates.

In case you ever need the Firefox 78.15.0esr file. https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/78.15.0esr/mac/en-US/ other locales at https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/78.15.0esr/mac/

Not going to work for the OP as macOS 10.11.x is below the macOS 10.12 minimum requirement since Fx 79.0 release.
