For notifications from sites that were permitted to send these: support.mozilla.org/questions/1459930 please follow Web Push notifications in Firefox for the steps how to revoke the permissions previously granted.

I had this problem this morning. I kept getting pop-up notifications about a virus in Firefox. The clue was that some of them referred to McAfee (which I did not renew after that trial period AND I deleted the app from Windows!)

I finally found their cookies in the cookie list and deleted them. Had to log out and log back in and the notifications went away. At this point, I would not even consider McAfee for virus protection again. That was truly deceitful and really p...ed me off. Just send me an email advertisement...
