Apparently this is a temporary file created to help rich text editors copy and paste windows clipboard images. It's in the Mozilla Source Code, and nothing nefarious.

Firefox will create files called moz-screenshot.jpg when you paste images into rich text editors. It's possible you accidentally press the Print Screen button (which puts a screenshot on the clipboard) then pasted it into a text editor.

How can you trick a website into thinking your in windows when your in mac?

In order to "trick" a website into believing you are browsing in windows you must first be running Firefox.

This add-on will allow you to spoof sites into believing you are browsing in a different browser than you truly are, such as Iphone or - for your purposes - Internet Explorer 6, 7, or 8. You must first access tools, then the new tab created which should say "Default User Agent", and finally select a particular browser.
