I had a few sites send me notifications for interesting articles with Chrome. Just like any app I would get a notification on my phone for the app event, in this case an article on that site, so if I clicked it it'd take me to Chrome and directly to that site and the article. After switching to Firefox I went to those sites and signed up for notifications. But when I get the notification and click it all it does is open Firefox. It never takes me to any of the corresponding sites or the articles. It's very frustrating.

Seems that the issue is still exist. Any update on this issue?

Neither notificationClick event in the service worker nor the on site local notification onclick event implemented through JavaScript(As mentioned https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Notification/onclick) is triggering by the browser(Firefox for android).
