To expand on that last reply, Firefox 109.0 was released last Tuesday. Possibly Kaspersky is alerting you to the public information Mozilla provided at that time:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2023-01/

Is your Firefox able to find the latest update using the Help > About method in this article: Update Firefox to the latest release?

Yet in your own post it mentions the current version as 109.0 as the most recent as Fx 109.0 was released last week on January 17, 2023

One thing your Browser is out of date and another is that kaspersky isn't well trusted anymore because of it's country of Origin as well.

Though in this case Kaspersky gave proper information that anybody can easily find info on.
