are add-ons tested by firefox for safety?
a lot of times add-ons are flagged as malware by antivirus. some also take a lot of cpu. is it safe to install them from firefox site?

All add-ons which are hosted at Addons.Mozilla.Org go thru a multi-step screening procedure before being made public. Can you provide the names of any add-ons that have been "flagged" as malware by an anti-virus application? Or are you going by hearsay?
As far as RAM consumption goes, no they aren't tested for RAM usage, but some are known as very hungry. Firebug is one; disable it when it isn't being used or create another Profile to use Firebug in, is the usual advice here.
