Firefox isn't going to just offer to install an extension unless another program you have installed wants to install an extension for Firefox the next time you boot the PC or the next time Firefox is launched.

Do you have anything else from TrendMicro installed on that PC?

You really don't need that type of TrendMicro extension; Firefox includes that type of protection.
