Although I have used Firefox for many years, recently I have been getting messages encouraging me to sign in to Mcafee virus protection although I have a perfectly adequate virus protection installed and this is recognised by Firefox. How do I stop these small messages that appear at the bottom right of the screen?

Can you post a screenshot showing how the pop-up is connected to Firefox? Sounds like you need to get a better ideal of the processes running on your computer. Try these tools. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns
