Add-ons are contained in Firefox; they don't have any access to programs running on your computer. The following add-ons can monitor your bandwidth usage in Firefox.

Any good software firewall lets you control which programs connect to the Internet.

If you need to see how much bandwidth various programs use up, look for a bandwidth monitoring tool.
