I have a Mac with the old OS that cannot be upgraded because of the hardware limitations. New Firefox doesn't run on it, but the old Firefox does. Is there somewhere I can get the file to save to a USB key from my Windows desktop, so that I can later copy it over to the Mac and install it? (There's no browser on the Mac right now.)

Hi, you need to know the Mac version then look up by google as to when support ended. Search with 1st word as Firefox

Find the version # , Find Mac, pick language, download.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

What Mac OS version and is it Intel or PPC aka PowerPC. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/49.0/releasenotes/

Assuming Intel and Mac OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 then Firefox 48.0.2 and the much later 45.9.0esr Release were the last versions to still run. Firefox [ https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/49.0/releasenotes/ 49.0] and later versions has requires Mac OSX 10.9 or later to run.

Still those old Mac OSX versions and old Firefox versions are old and vulnerable and should not be used online.
