If you're not expecting this message, I expect that it's going to be some kind of scam message. However, as for safety, if I'm curious, I will take the hostname of the url and use Firefox private mode to check it. In this case, "https://encrypt.barracudanetworks.com";. It appears to be a messaging system, so I assume that the site is "ok". Try loading the url, again in private mode and see what happens. It is extremely unlikely that going to a website using Firefox on Fedora is going to harm your system. Just of course be wary of entering information unless you're very sure of the site you're on.
I'm using Thunderbird on Fedora-28; there is no "anti-virus" available. Is this safe?
I've never found "anti-virus" to have any use on a Linux system other than a way to use up CPU time. I've personally never used it or installed it on any systems I have setup for other people and there have never been any issues in the more than 20 years I've been doing this. People that I know have tried using it have generally disabled it because it's annoying and a CPU hog. It has the same effect on Windows systems, but there it appears to be useful.
