Why am I getting a message to download in a bar at the bottom to "Download Advanced Password Manager"?

When I opened FireFox I got this message on a red bar at the bottom that said: "Your identity is at risk. Download Advanced Password Manager to start safeguarding your identity."

I used it yesterday to watch youtube and didn't see it. The last things I added on my browser were "Ad-Blocker" and "Adblock Plus" a few days ago. Could this be the issue?

Hi

This does not sound like a message from Mozilla in respect of Firefox and sounds more like an attempt to download malicious software to your device.

I strongly recommend that you do not install software from such messages.
