I keep getting a pop up for Mozilla Windows 10 driver optimizer. Is this a legitimate Mozilla site? If not, and I possibly have malware, how do I get rid of it?

This window pops up from time to time on my screen. Just need to know if it is real or spyware/malware. If not real, how do I get rid of it? Thanks in advance for any help I've attached a screen print.

No this is Not from Mozilla or from the Firefox browser in any way.

There is no such thing as "Mozilla Windows 10 driver optimizer" from Mozilla and if there was it would be listed on a *.mozilla.org page and not some random site.

It may be something similar to this one https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-windows-7-driver-optimizer-virus/
