"Your browser is being managed by your organization"
How to get rid of "Your browser is being managed by your organization"? This thing is driving me crazy(er)! Please 'dumb down' your reply, as I am not computer literate. If it's a malicious attack, my anti-virus is not picking it up. Thanks!

Can you type about:policies in the URL bar and post a screenshot of what you see?
See below.
The "ImportEnterpriseRoots" policy instructs Firefox to trust certificates added to the Windows certificate store, not just the ones that Mozilla provides.
In Firefox 120+, Firefox's default behavior is to do that anyway (the checkbox on the Settings page "Allow Firefox to automatically trust third-party root certificates you install" is pre-checked). This article has more information: Automatically trust third-party root certificates.
What the policy does is lock that preference so you cannot modify it.
Why does the policy exist?
Unfortunately, there's no simple way to know what program created the policy, but usually it is added by your security software to facilitate intercepting and cleaning your browsing (otherwise, Firefox would reject its fake certificates).
If that is okay with you, then there's no need to remove the policy you found. But if that is NOT okay with you, then there are two possibly places that policy could have been added:
(1) Windows Registry (2) A policies.json file in a specific subfolder of your Firefox program folder
Removing the policy there might only be temporary if the security software (or other culprit) checks for/applies those changes at system startup. Do you want the steps to try the cleaning anyway?
