If you're done reading and your head hasn't pop'd like a balloon yet you're free to go. If it did pop, NO GO FOR YOU. Head pop means brain gone, brain is a recommended system requirement.
- AVX Version is for modern CPU's starting at AMD FX 6000 Series and Intel equivalents.
- Non-AVX Version is for older-than-above CPU's before 2011/12.
In doubt, use AVX. If the Viewer does not start up and does not give you any error message, use the non-AVX version, each version can simply be installed over the other.
Should you get an error message on startup and you use Windows 10 you'll need to head over to the Microsoft website and download the latest Visual C++ Redistributable 2019 package, the Viewer requires it, comes with its DLL files but Windows 10 with all the latest updates requires new ones.Proceed to download the Viewer here.

Current Release for OpenSim
OpenSim versions of Firestorm do not have Havok. That only matters if you're uploading mesh objects and need to specify the mesh physics properties, or if you need to manipulate the region navmesh for pathfinding. The terms of the Havok license prohibit its use anywhere but Second Life, so it's not present in OpenSim versions.
In order to be able to login to grids other than Second Life, you need to enable a setting. From the login screen, go to
Viewer Menu → Preferences → Advanced → Allow login to other grids. Also see Grid Selector
