Firefox is maintained in the base RHEL distribution, as such, EPEL has
no control over what may or may not occur with it. I would contact
your Red Hat representative for any kind of an official answer.

That being said, Red Hat reserves the right to rebase desktop software
versions in RHEL - so my guess is that it will happen, but that is
nothing more than a guess. Maintaining backports of security fixes
that may or may not be known even would probably prove to be
untenable. Again, this is my personal view of the topic - I don't work
for Red Hat, and you'd have to talk to someone who does (in a forum
other than this list) to get an official answer.
