Not a Firefox browser user forum issue. Take it to a computer shop to fix or diagnosis the problem or stop going to scam sites to stop getting those messages.

Are these small popups on the bottom right corner of Firefox windows?. If so then these may just be Web Push Notifications from sites you have allowed to send you notifications. Instead of useful information, some may just send you junk, spam, fake virus/trojan alerts and such. You can revoke these sites from sending you notifications.
