I did a clean install of Windows 11, and have also used Chris Titus's tools to the best of my ability. Wondering the best extensions to add on Firefox. Also, should I get her onto the Proton train, or try to make her iPhone and Windows play nice?

Yep, bitwarden would help for phishing so she isn't typing in passwords in different places. If you can, you can also get the fingerprint set up so it's easy for her to scan. You can also get external ones for desktop, but I'm not sure how good the sensors are so YMMV
