Does it sound like https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1580297 — notifications showing in the corner of the screen? That's coming from a site that was allowed to send these, see Web Push notifications in Firefox — the article shows where to revoke the permissions.

Are these as small popups on bottom right corner of Firefox window?. If so then these are likely just web push notifications from sites you have allowed to send you notifications. Instead of useful information some sites may send you notifications of junk, spam or fake virus/trojans etc. You can revoke these sites from sending you notifications.

Again these notifications are not from the Firefox web browser nor from Mozilla.
