Ignore them. They are one of an increasing number of parasitic websites (or link-farms) that "host" popular freeware including Firefox extensions. Some like Softpedia even give you fake "awards" and encourage you to use them as your official download link. They exist solely to make money off advertising. They are unlikely to listen to you unless you sic a lawyer on them and who among us can afford one?
