What does a Firewall mean by "connect to TCP port without your premission"permission"?

McAfee is reporting incoming network connections blocked from IPs like 198.252.206.149 (StackExchange Inc.), 54.179.231.116 (Amazon Technologies Inc.), 74.125.68.106 (Google Inc.), and etc.

enter image description herescreenshot of McAfee showing aforementioned logs

The ports blocked are varied,vary: e.g. 54452, 54551, 52931, 53353, 52912, 52902, 52914, 54146, 54156, 53986, 52931, 52914, 53204, 52927, 52912, etc.

These ports shouldn't be the ones used for web browsing, because I seemingly can browse "perfectly" as per usual with no anomalies.

Why am I getting these messages?

What does it mean when someone tried to connect to TCP port on my PC "without permission"?
