The newest version is 2.0.0.3. You can't get that version automatically. 
You'll have to uninstall the current version and delete the rest of the 
*program* folder (not the profile!) in Program Files before installing 
2.0.0.3 in a clean folder in Program Files to prevent problems.

As the link i sent ( http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks ), 
explains at 
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks#Firefox_2_installer_error
there is an installer error in this version that causes the bookmarks to 
seemingly (not really) disappear and that can be easily prevented by 
restarting Windows after uninstalling the old version and before 
installing the new version. This is a good idea with any program upgrade 
and was mandatory in older versions of Windows although XP has confused 
us by claiming this is usually not necessary.

As i explained and as explained in more detail at the links i and John 
sent to the programs Sunbird and Lightning
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/faq.html

     Sunbird is our standalone calendar application. It doesn't need 
another client application to run at the cost of a larger download and 
higher memory requirements. Because of its standalone nature, Sunbird 
does not offer any kind of tight integration with an e-mail application, 
such as Mozilla Thunderbird.

     Lightning is a calendar extension for Mozilla Thunderbird. It 
offers calendaring features directly in the Thunderbird User Interface. 
Further integration features, such as e-mail invites or address book 
integration are planned for future releases.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
