Mozilla typically has its own user to run as.
nobody is an unprivileged account that should not own any files anywhere. If you use NFS, a root user on another system who connects will end up as nobody on the local system -- you don't want someone with root running around getting root on everything. Some other processes may also use the nobody user. For example, fingerd might run as nobody.
you shouldn't have to do anything. It's part of the basic system install.
