I was checking my /etc/hosts when I came across this line:
64.50.236.214 releases.mozilla.org
Should that line be there? Is it safe?
That ip points to a mirror site.

you didn't add it? you can always comment it out with a hash # and see if it gives you problems (restart network afterwards (sudo /etc/rc.d/network restart)). doesnt look like it would do any harm though, other than limiting you to that one mirror

Why oh why didn't I take the BLUE pill?"

That's the same thing I had to add to get firefox to be able to download plugins (listed in the wiki Firefox article too).

No, I didn't. That's why I was so worried.
Edit: I can download plugins with Firefox even without that line. I found out that my brother had used an arch live cd to change /etc/hosts because he couldn't download plugins, the problem mcmillan mentioned.
Thank you guys for quick answers.

maybe you installed a patched version of any mozilla software that implements the "fix" mcmillan described?
