52.7.3 ESR. It will continue to get security updates until May 2018, and you can download and install it from this page:
Note : Legacy Extensions will be deleted or removed in any version update after June 2018. Where it will become Quantum based.
You should make a backup of your Profile before going back and just because:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-osx - Firefox support has ended for Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8
Firefox 45.9.0esr will be the most up to date version with security fixes that will run on OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 as Firefox 49.0 and later requires OSX 10.9+

The Firefox 48.0.2 was released August 24, 2016 and is missing several security updates that the Firefox 45.9.0esr released on April 19, 2017 has.
Perhaps using a Linux distro with a lighter desktop manager like Xfce vs a heavy one like KDE or Gnome3 may be of interest.
