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

What security software do you have?
