My computer is my own. I don't belong to any organization. It is my personal computer and I am the only one who uses it. What does it mean?

In most cases this is caused by security software that wants to inject itself in the internet connection to be able to monitor your internet traffic. They do this in a way (likely via the Windows Registry) that makes Firefox display this notification.

Note that you can click this "Your browser is being managed by your organization" notification to open about:policies#active to inspect possible policies.
