For example: a box from Norton Antivirus will pop up to ask me if I want to download firefox from ______ . The line will be filled with a different site everytime (this is one site: saimei.acc.umu.se). Can I trust this?

Yes as there is not one server but several mirrors around the help load balance the releases.mozilla.org

Many of the mirrors are Universities and also help host for other open source stuff like various Linux distros.

The one you link to is a University in Sweden.
