I am getting these small windows poping up in the lower right side of my screen that state:

Mozilla Firefox 

       ATTENTION!

I am using TotalAV antivirus which is telling me that there is no virus. This only happens when I use Firefox, not Edge or Goggle browsers.

The site listed on the notification got your permission to push these in the past. That is all scam. See support.mozilla.org/questions/1598192

You can revoke the permission in Settings, see Web Push notifications in Firefox for the steps.
