Is ff2mpv safe?

Clean risk

ff2mpv sends user-selected page, link, media, frame, or text URLs to the local ff2mpv native host.

When you click the toolbar button or context-menu entries, ff2mpv passes the active tab URL, a link or media URL, a frame URL, or selected text to its local native messaging host. The claim describes this as a user-triggered handoff for opening content in MPV, with optional pausing of page videos before the message is sent.
