McAfee Total Security keeps popping up, warning me that the website I am on is infected, then offers me a chance to buy their product, then I am switched to Norton to purchase their product. I am on a MacBook Air with MacOS Monterey Version 12.7.5
bold textI GET SIDE TABS WITH MOZILLA ICON WITH A WARNING MY "PC" IS VIRUS INFECTED and to click on it to remove the virus. The WARNING SIDE TAB RETREATS BEFORE I CAN CLICK ON THE SIDE TAB.

Are these small popups on bottom right corner of Firefox window? if so then they may be web push notifications from site(s) you have allowed to send you notifications. Unfortunately sometimes they can be fake virus or fake antivirus (like mcafee) claiming you are infected instead of useful notifications from the sites. The fact that is says "PC is virus infected" shows it is fake when you have a Mac. Normally PC is in reference to a Windows system.
The second link shows how to revoke those sites from sending you more notifications.
