why am i now receiving notifications in Firefox on my laptop about text messages sent to my android phone

Jeff

Two days ago I started getting notifications from Firefox on my laptop about text messages received on my android phone. This has never happened before and I made no changes I can remember. Tell me how to fix it. There are too many better browsers for me to deal with this crap
