This is a Firefox support forum, not a mac one, so we won't be able to help with the specifics of updating your mac, but Apple has a good support page set-up at http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/ to help you get from 10.7 to 10.11. Dealer pc access 3 download windows 7.
As for iOS (and you should be running the most recent version of iOS for security reasons) both Firefox and safari are equally secure, as they both use the same backend (Apple won't allow a competing backend on ios), but if you are using Firefox on your computer, using Firefox on your iOS device will allow you to sync your bookmarks and other data between devices (Sync your Firefox bookmarks and browsing history in iOS)

You should be able to upgrade directly from 10.6.8 to 10.8. That would be the cheapest solution ($19.99 as papayaninja points out above). Make sure your computer supports 10.8 first, though.
Or, if your computer supports 10.9 (Mavericks), you can update directly to 10.9 for free (look in the App Store).

As others have said, you have to pay to upgrade. But just be forewarned, there seems to be some sort of weird issue with non-Yosemite OS upgrades right now. I paid for Mountain Lion a few days ago but the App Store won't let me download it because it is 'being modified.' Many others are having this same problem and nobody at Apple has provided a solution. See this forum link for lots of angry customers:

I can't upgrade to Yosemite yet (I use lots of audio production software that doesn't work properly in Yosemite), so I'm kind of stuck for the moment, and Apple has a policy of not refunding software purchases. So, that's fun.

Mac Os 10.7 Free Upgrade Windows 7
Honestly, I'm still on 10.6.8, myself (late 2009 21' iMac), and, if I were going to upgrade, I would skip 10.7 entirely and go for either 10.8 or 10.9.
If your Mac is as old as mine, I would advise against 10.10, though. It may support it, but it doesn't like to run it.
