I had to reinstall Firefox and now my Windows 11 24 H2 computer is constantly giving me this message in the notification area. I believe it is a scam message, I do not run McAfee. Here is just one of the messages I keep getting, another one will say "Your payment was rejected and I need to update payment to reactivate protection. 

 Here is one I got earlier today...

 Mozilla Firefox

Critical error! Click to turn on the antivirus

Are these small popups on bottom right corner of Firefox window? if so then they may just be web push notifications from sites you have allowed to send you notifications. Unfortunately some sites may send fake virus alerts and such. You can revoke those sites.
