Can I use that one together with flashgot addon?
I don't know. I rarely use Firefox (Chromium is my preferred browser).

In (L)ubuntu open a terminal and run
sudo update-grub

Or install then run 'grub-customizer'.
To install grub-customizer do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
