I keep getting intrusive mozilla / Mcaffee advertising banners on my screen when firefox is open. avast won't stop them. It only affects my new dell laptop windows 11 computer. It looks like the code for firefox has been invaded. How do I block updates to firefox or get ride of the adds?

This sounds to be Web Push notifications in Firefox from site(s) you have interacted with. one or more sites may be sending you fake malware notifications to try and trick you into infecting the Windows OS.

See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/push-notifications-firefox#w_how-do-i-revoke-web-push-permissions-for-a-specific-site
