I had something similar a few weeks ago. It hasn't happened again, though. Don't know whether that is good or bad.

Firefox as much as anything. Flash can provide a nice back door for those who have designs on your data, so FF blocks older versions. You might find things like iPlayer get blocked too.

Just update Flash, decline the McAfee comeone, and it should go away. You probably turned off the autoupdate nags at some stage because they were getting on your nerves.

[ETA]

The same has been happening for a while on my Linux Mint 14 machin. If your OS is no longer supported, it won't be bringing automatic updates of Firefox, so the older version won't be compatble with the new Flash plugin.

The answer is to update your OS if you can be bothered, but the lazy man's work-around is just to accept the warning every time it appears.
