This sounds like this Russian is selling a program that is capable of hacking into someone’s system, via Firefox.

Is that not a computer crime? What possible legal use is the product this Russian is peddling??

Security probing of networks. There are companies that offer their services to companies, offering to break into their network to check the network's security. This is usually done with the permission of the company and most of the time it is very much above-board.
