I recently upgraded my older MacBook to 10.7.5 and was happy to hear that Firefox ESR v48.x would work as a modern browser. Two days later the Spectre/Meltdown vulnerability was released. I understand that support has ended for ESR v48.x but would like to know if Mozilla has any plans to release a security patch to protect our older Mac's?

There was no 48 ESR; there was 45 ESR then 52 ESR.

Firefox 52 ESR does not support SharedArrayBuffer and is less at risk; the performance.now() mitigations will be included in the regularly scheduled Firefox 52.6 ESR release on January 23, 2018.

Thank you. Evidently I was confusing ESR versions with Firefox versions. The version I am using is Firefox ESR version 45.8.

Seems there will be no more security updates so I will finally have to migrate away from Firefox. Version 45.9 ESR is the last supported under OSX 10.7.5.
