Mepis is good. Synaptic is even better, which is
included in the Mepis base. You should check in there
first. By default, there is a launcher for Synaptic on
the KDE bar. I think you'll have to refresh the
repositories to make sure it's got the most recent
list of packages. I believe the apt package is
mozilla-firefox. And this indicates 1.0.7 is available
for Mepis:

If Firefox 1.0.7 is not there, and it should be, then
try http://www.mepislovers.org/. There is a forum
where you can ask what to do.

Firefox is one of the things I try to stick with
package managed install so it's easy to keep updated.
So I don't personally recommend installing from
source, but there's no reason you couldn't do it.
