The AUR has Firefox ESR which is currently at version 45.5.

Re: browser on cpu 32bit no-sse2

Given that your machine does not support SSE2 it must be either quite an old machine or not very powerful, and I'd say trying to use it for browsing the web is only going to get more and more difficult, if nothing else because of the difficulty of having up-to-date software, which is a must when you are browsing the web.

Don't take my comment in a bad way, but it might be time to start considering putting that machine to rest or repurposing it for other uses. Things keep evolving and old hardware can't be supported indefinitely.
