When I browse to different websites using Firefox I regularly get a Firefox pop-up asking me to give the website permission to send me notifications.

enter image description here

I have 3 options here

  1. Allow Notifications
  2. Not Now
  3. Never Allow

It appears that "Never Allow" is only for the specific site - if I go to another site the pop-up will appear again for that site.

I don't use the notification feature and would like the pop-up turned off completely for all sites, but am unsure if this is possible.

In the Firefox options, under Privacy and Security, there is a Permissions section that includes Notifications:

However choosing "Settings..." here just shows me the sites I have already Allowed or Not Allowed, and doesn't give an option to turn off the pop-up. The Pause notifications until Firefox restarts does not stop these pop-ups from appearing, it just mutes notifications that you have previously allowed. And clicking "Learn more" tells me about the notifications and how to add them to my own website, but not how to disable them in Firefox.

How can I turn off this pop-up so that I am no longer asked for permission for websites to send notifications?

To permanently disable Push notifications in Firefox:

Go to about:config in your browser adresss bar and accept the "Here Be Dragons" warning:enter image description here

Look for: dom.webnotifications.enabled:enter image description here

and set it's value to 'false'. To change the value you can either double click it or right click and select "Toggle"

Restart firefox and you're sorted :)

This will completely disable push notifications and Firefox won't ask your permission again.

You can completely disable notification queries in the following manner:

  1. Within a new Firefox tab, type about:config and press Enter
  2. Click the ensuing button that says I accept the risk!
  3. In the Search field at the top, type dom.webnotifications.enabled
  4. Double-click on the result under Preference Name to change the value to false
  5. Close the Firefox browser and reopen it, now without notification queries
