You may have arrived here practically desperate to know how to block and disable push notifications in Mozilla Firefox ; normal. After a certain Firefox browser update , it began to allow screen notifications to appear, even if the web had not yet been 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 he has something to communicate. For example, on a sales website, you can send price changes, offers … There is a fee that controls that the number of notifications sent is limited. In fact, if a website exceeds the quota it has allowed, it will deactivate the push and the user should subscribe again.
Firefox maintains a connection with 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.
