I am getting multiple pop-ups from Mozilla. When I close them they continually pop up again. They are warning me of a 'system Alert' about infection or virus. click on them they are trying to sell me Norton anti virus products. I have Mcafee and its showing no problems. How can I get rid of these annoyances? Thank You

Are these small popups on the bottom right corner of Firefox windows?. If so then these may just be Web Push Notifications from sites you have allowed to send you notifications. Instead of useful information, some may just send you junk, spam, fake virus/trojan alerts and such. You can revoke these sites from sending you notifications.
