You may have arrived here practically desperate to know how to block and disable push notifications in Mozilla Firefox; normal. From certain , this began to allow notifications to appear on the screen, even if the web had not yet loaded. This is because this browser uses a Push API, which receives a push message and displays a notification.
Considering how cumbersome or inappropriate it may be, each user can decide whether or not to give permission to a specific site. Once given, it will send notifications to the user when it has something to communicate. For example, on a sales website, you can send price changes, offers… There is a quota that controls that the number of notifications sent is limited. In fact, If a website exceeds its allowed quota, push will be disabled and the user should subscribe again.
Firefox maintains a connection to the push service for as long as it remains open. The moment it closes, the connection is deactivated. The user himself can also deactivate those places from which he does not want to receive push messages again and that is what we teach you to do.
