Firefox version 52 will be the last complete update for Windows XP and Windows Vista. Security updates will be released, but no new features.

In March 2017, if you are using Firefox with Windows XP or Windows Vista, you will automatically be updated to the Extended Support Release version of Firefox. You will continue to receive important Firefox security updates but no other features or updates. You do not need to do anything else

Ignore the part about personal, this page is appropriate.

Scroll down, find English (your country), either 32 bit (probably your version) or 64 bit, and click the download link.
