Selenium IDE can be installed from selenium's site: http://seleniumhq.org/download/
It is installed as an add-on in Mozilla firefox and only works in mozilla.
Its got a good user interface. Record and Run is the major feature of IDE.
Many selenium developers/people think that its just a record and run tool.
Selenium IDE is having the core engine which is based on javascript. You can also write your own code in java script and extend the functionality of IDE. For example, we can read the test data from XML in IDE. Javascript code will be written using user extensions(generally named user-extensions.js) There are many other things which you can do with selenium IDE. You can write programming logic using if statements, while loops etc. People have contributed all this in form of plugins. Plugins are nothing but java script code written by someone else which you can use in your selenium tests. There are plugins for flash testing, plugins for test organzation etc.
