I am constantly getting pop-ups which say they are from McAfee. It automatically puts something on my task bar. As soon as I clear it off, it reappears. It blocks my screen. (V-e-r-y annoying.) How can I block these pop-ups. Thank you.

Are these small popups on bottome right corner of Firefox windows? if so then these may be web push notifications from sites you have allowed to send you notifications. Instead of useful information, some may send junk, spa, fake virus/trojan alerts, fake antivirus (say mcafee) alerts etc. You can revoke these sites.
