Hi
You can find a copy of the 52.1.1 version of Firefox from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/52.1.1esr/. You will need to select either "win32" or "win64" depending on the version of XP that you have, followed by the language you wish to use at the next level.
One thing I should point out that if you lose a copy of XP now, even if you reinstalled it, you are likely to find that you will not be able to reinstall the many security and stability updates that Microsoft has released over the years. You may find that you may be better consider a more recent vrsion of Windows or a move to a (free) Linux based operating system.

The following page has links to full installers (sometimes called "offline installers") for the Firefox "Extended Support Release":

You can get an updated version every few months until around next February when the last in the 52 series is released.
That may be a bit easier than using the ftp server since all the languages and operating systems are clearly spelled out. However, if you want something other than the current version, the ftp server or its successor will still have those.
With Windows XP you also have to make sure to use a version that supports XP.
