J'ai reçu une notification de Mozilla/firefox me demandant de fournir des autorisations supplémentaires pour les extensions McAfee® WebAdvisor. La notification indique que si je n'autorise pas les mises à jour, je devrai supprimer McAfee. S'agit-il d'une escroquerie ou d'une tentative de vol de données ? Je vous remercie.

Bonjour.

What kind of notification is this? Is this a pop-up on a webpage as in this case it likely is a scam?

Do you have this extension installed if the check this in about:addons or in about:support?

Note that Firefox automatically downloads and installs updates and it is possible that a new version requires extra permissions.
