Firefox 49.0 will require OSX 10.9 or newer.

The current Firefox 48.0 Released on Aug 2nd and 48.0.1 released recently still works on OSX 10.6.8 however once Firefox 49.0 is released the Firefox 48.0 is EOL so in order to still get security updates for Firefox you can use the Firefox 45 ESR branch.

ESR channel builds generally get eight updates as 45.8.0 esr will be out when Firefox 53.0 is released. The 45.8.0 esr will then be the last unless Mozilla extends support to help Mac OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 users for a while longer.
