Its possible that you downloaded software from a WebStore that uses the Secure Download Manager. It can come under different urls as another example is http://firefox-17102.avstats.com/

Mozilla does not use this SDM for any of their products including the desktop Firefox web browser from www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

Depending on the SDM software it can install a number of things on Windows.
