From the main mozilla page, go to the section titled "mozilla 1.6", and select the one for your operating system. Version 1.6 is considered the latest "stable" release. Right now I'm on version 1.8a, which is an 'alpha' release - it's not considered stable yet. You'd probably be best off with 1.6.

As far as extensions, I recommend:

IE View (right click and open IE if there's a page you can't render correctly with Firefox)

AdBlock (in addition to the standard popup blocker, this extension allows you to right click on banner ads and some Flash and remove them)

External Application Buttons (with this I've added an OE button to the browser bar)

NOTE -there's been some bugs with trying to install more than one extension at a time. Install one, then close the browser and restart it before getting another one.
