Hello lea,

this is what those mean:

Warn me when sites try to install add-ons :

With Add-ons you can enhance Firefox's experience. However, some add-ons can be malicious so that's why Firefox warns you before installing them by default.

Block reported attack sites :

Attack sites are those sites that can install malware on your computer. Normally, Firefox blocks that. The same goes for

Block reported web forgeries , where Phishing sites are being blocked. See How the phishing and malware protection in Firefox works.

Also, those information can be found in the Security and passwords settings KB article.
