Firefox is the name of the web browser as Mozilla is the company that makes Firefox.

The Firefox accounts is not suspicious at all. Most people who create such account use it for to sync data between say Firefox on a PC and Firefox on a Android phone for example. It is a optional thing and not required in order to use Firefox on any device.

You need a password so other people cannot access your Firefox account and because the unique encryption of the account is based on the password. The age well you can pretty much lie as it needs to be at least 13 I believe.
