Getting repeated/multiple Mozilla Firefox Browser Alerts and System Warnings that are wrong and dysfunctional
I'm suddenly getting repeated/multiple Mozilla Firefox "Browser Alerts", "System Warnings," and "McAfee Critical Virus Alerts" that are wrong and dysfunctional. They pop up every few seconds. They contain "Remove virus now" and "quick scan" buttons, but these only take me to a bright red screen that says:
"Deceptive site ahead Firefox blocked this page because it may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing personal information like passwords or credit cards."
These come even though I haven't tried to access any "deceptive sites." I have to x all of them out to clear my screen.
There's obviously a defect in your warning system. How do I stop this?

Hi, this is not our warning system. Please follow this article to stop it -> Web Push notifications in Firefox.
But the popups are all Mozilla Firefox warnings of security breaches, not notices from other sites. And even if they were from other sites, I have no idea which ones to stop notices from.
P.S. This just started in the last week. It was obviously triggered by something.
No, these are fake warnings from malicious websites. We don't send it even if there's a "Mozilla Firefox" title.
It looks like you've accidentally clicked something.
So what can I do?
It is explained in the article I pasted before.
