today i ended up enabling notifications that appeared to be my hoa's website but was a rogue and fake virus software warning of viruses and wanting to update and renew license to remove them.. i get notifications every few seconds from them and had to diable notifications. i did send a note on the "broken link" tab to you guys..

its annoying and my malware bytes didn't catch either. it uses mozilla based to send the notification, i couldn't find a place to block the site.


Thank you. Jeff Wagener [edited phone# from community support forum]

Are these small popups on the bottom right of Firefox windows? if so then these may be web push notifications from sites you have allowed. Instead of useful information some may send you junk, spam, fake virus/trojan alerts. You can revoke these sites from sending you notifications.
