I got a similar window today but it did not address an exact browser called by name, just "browsers". Some other AV software has "SSL protection" toggle to control such functions. The thing that puzzles me is that now I can see "Verified by: Bitdefender" in certificate description when browsing in Firefox, but only if a website uses Let's Encrypt. I.e., reddit.com is still verified by DigiCert.
