I keep getting fake pop-ups for McAfee software which I can't get rid of. If I close one, another pops up immediately. Help! Thanks. John Ladd Burbank, CA

Are these as small popups on bottom right corner of Firefox window? If so then these are just web push notifications from sites you have allowed to send you notifications and you can revoke these sites.
