Disabling the "Enable notifications?" popup in Firefox
If I'm on a page that has web notifications (like Slack or others), Firefox asks me if I want to enable them. However, my choices are "Yes" or "Ignore for now". The problem is, if I select "Ignore", every time there is a notification it asks me again. This is incredibly annoying.
How do I disable this completely? (I would accept disabling this feature entirely if that's easiest.)
Go into about:config
and set dom.webnotifications.enabled
to false
You can also disable this on a per-site basis by right-clicking somewhere in a blank spot of the site (or pressing Ctrl-I on Windows or Cmd-I on Mac) and then selecting "View Page Info" from the opening menu. This opens a window with a "Permissions" tab. Scroll down until you see "Receive Notifications", uncheck "Use Default" then select "Block."
Go into about:config
and set dom.webnotifications.enabled
to false
. This seems to work for me in FF 47.
As of Firefox 59, this is in Options
Open the Options window
On the left side of the screen, click "Privacy & Security"
Under the "Permissions" section, find "Notifications" and click the "Settings..." button
Check the box that says "Block new requests asking to allow notifications"
In about:config
I set dom.webnotifications.enabled
to false
but it didn't work for me in FF 56. I had to set dom.push.enabled
to false
as well.
