How can I stop pop up notices from Mozilla saying that my McAffee licence has expired. I now use MS Defender

I terminated my McAfee subscription, as Windows 11 and Microsoft Office 360 have Microsoft Defender included. I keep getting Mozilla Firefox warning notices saying my McAfee licence has expired, Trojan Virus found on hard drive, multiple virus on my computer, Critical errors etc. I have had MS Defender do several scans and no problems have been detected. Can you help correct this or do I have a virus that Defender cant detect? I have tried to copy one of the notices but it comes up as a link to further notices and I am concerned it is another virus. The notices are all Mozilla badged with suggestions such as Scan and fix, Turn on protection, Update windows and more. I am able to delete them, but after a few minutes they return. Regards Robert.

This is not from Mozilla nor the Firefox web browser but rather from sites you have allowed to send you notifications. You can revoke the sites from sending you notifications as kb article link in above reply.
