For security reasons, I wish to be able to verify my Firefox download using either the MD5 or SHA1 hash.

For Firefox 3.6.13 you can access them here - http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.13/

For Windows installers checking the authenticode signature is much easier for most users. Open the folder containing the installer, right-click, Properties, and look for a "Digital Signatures" tab. There should be one, and it should be a valid signature for the Mozilla Corporation.

For people who know what to do with a SHA1 hash file, downloading it over an insecure connection from the same mirror site as the binary completely misses the point. Instead get it from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/<version>/SHA1SUMS (or MD5SUMS if you prefer).
