I was wondering what the best exercises for firming my triceps and biceps?

Welcome to freetrainers Daisy. From your profile, I understand you work out at home, do you have any dumbells? Barbells?

I have 5 lb weights that I have been using and a resistance cord. I can always go buy something new if it would work better.

ou can do bicep and tricep with the resistance cord, try bicep curls by putting one end of the cord under your foot, while standing erect. Grip the other end of the cord and curl your arm upwards, by beding at the elbow.
You can do triceps by putting the cord behind your back with one arm over your shoulder and the other behind your back behind your waist and pull up with the one hand over your shoulder.

Why don't you try a program from here. you can tell the program what equipment you have and it will make a good plan.
Hope this helps.
