I'm not too sure what you're asking. Debian offers firefox,
thunderbird, openOffice, and various firewall software. What do you
want to see in order to make a decision? Have you looked at Ubuntu?
It's based on Debian and considered by some to be a bit more novice
friendly.
You shouldn't be too afraid. it's easy enough to dual boot OS's and
try various things. In the end, your post is too vague to get specific
suggestions (IMHO).
