When i download through Firefox it shows speeds of 300kbsec but when i do a speed test it is at 4mbs so why do i not get these speeds when i download?

At the moment, Firefox is downloading here and the speed is indicated in KB/sec-- read kilobytes per second. Your test speed of 4mbs is most likely 4 megabits per second.
For you too, Firefox is most likely showing the speed in kilobytes per second; when you read the speed, whether it's shown in upper case or lower case make all the difference.
Thus 300 kilobytes per second (300KB/sec) translates to 2 400 kilobits per second (2 400 kb/sec) since one byte consists of 8 bits. 2 400 kb/sec is 2.4 mb/sec or 2.4 mbs to use your notation and it's 60% of your test speed. This may be quite reasonable.
