firefoxPackages.firefox-esr-52: remove package

firefoxPackages.firefox-esr-52 was removed as it's an unsupported ESR
with open security issues. If you need it because you need to run some
plugins not having been ported to WebExtensions API, import it from an
older nixpkgs checkout still containing it.
