Disable push notifications in Firefox

Post by FlyingPenguin »

I dunno if this was added recently, or more websites are doing it, or what. Every friggin' website (it seems) wants to know if I want to have push notifications sent to me through the browser. When did this annoying crap become a thing?

Found the global setting in Firefox to turn this crap off (I NEVER EVER want a push notification from a website):

- Go to about:config
- Look for: dom.webnotifications.enabled
- Set it's value to 'false'.

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

What about for Chrome?

Settings->Advanced->Privacy and security->Content settings->Notifications First option to turn it off completely.
