The Flash Video Downloader is related to one of the many Youtube extensions you have installed.

Flash Video Downloader - YouTube HD Download [4K] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/flash-video-downloader/

Also FireZilla is a open source ftp client that has no relation to Mozilla.org or the Firefox web browser. https://filezilla-project.org/
