Which is the suggested version Mozilla is wanting the business to install?

Also does Mozilla Firefox releases version upgrade like 27,28 etc for every security vulnerabilies OR are they releasing patch for a specific version to address the vulnerabilities for that specific version

Firefox 28.0.1 was released several weeks ago, and was the supported version until Firefox 29 was released last week. You should always use the most recent version.

If you want an enterprise release, you can use http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/

Hello,

Versions below Firefox 29 are insecure and you shouldn't use them.

The only exception is ESR, the special version for organizations, which is currently based off Firefox 24 but it has all the latest security patches.

Most security patches are delivered in major versions (like 29.0). Highly urgent issues are patched in so-called chemspill updates (like 28.0.1). Once a new major version is released, the old one receives no further updates (with the exception noted above).
