Question 1:
Firefox is a web browser made by mozilla, but can be installed in addition to mozilla. They are not the exact same browser.... reading aroudn the mozilla site will explain the differences.
Question 2:

All you need to do to get it back is to uninstall their media players, and go download the origional versions from their respective websites, and install from souce. a bit of RTFM, but nothing too difficult.
