I'm trying to understand their origin so I can disable them. This is my desktop; I've silenced ad notifications on Windows, but that wasn't the issue. I searched for details, though it seemed hard to find anything. Thanks ahead for help. EDIT: I also don't use Reddit, so I'm unsure why they appear.

Yes, you're likely referring to Pitu, a character from the game "Pokémon." The image probably shows him.

Unknown browser used, but commonly referred to as push notifications.

Firefox seems stable, no major changes detected. Reinstalling Windows isn't necessary unless you notice significant issues.

Another option is to verify if push notifications are enabled.

You were right, I was overly concerned. It was just a single red notification from Reddit, so I turned it off. Thanks!

It seems you're likely on a mobile device since push notifications and Wind are an Italian provider. I had to do a quick adjustment there. Oof.
