McAfee, Which I don't have, has just started reporting Virus/Trogan present when using Firefox. Is this just a SCAM by McAfee?

I have just started getting Virus/Trogan messages from McAfee when brousing with Firefox. I have not installed McAfee so is this a blackmailing/SCAM by McAfee to get me to pay?. I only get these messages when using Firefox, It seems to be somthing that's got into Firefox! I don't, at the moment, have this annoyance on my Laptop.

Yes, it's a scam. Please read Web Push notifications in Firefox to turn it off.
