I'm working with an older lady who keeps giving up her password because her older lady friends keep sending her links. I think she finally gets not to click on the links but she is now very, very paranoid and would like that added security of a anti-phishing extension/add-on in Firefox. I looked a few of them but wasn't certain which one would work best for her based on using a Mac.

Hi,

Please see this. Additionally, if you are providing ongoing support, you could use OpenDNS for DNS resolution (208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220) depending on your location and speed, or use its additional features. You can also try K9, which would all complement Firefox's solid builtin protection (Tools (Alt + T) > Options > Privacy).
