Mozilla has basic information on IRC setup on their wiki. irchelp.org has some info, including FAQs and links to various clients for Mac, Windows and UNIX.

Linux/Unix users have a few options See these links:

• Basic 'How-to' for IRC on Linux

For Mac users, we suggest using the GUI clients Adium 1.4 Beta or Colloquy.
