I'm trying to allow notifications for a website. I expected to select preferences from the address bar button drop down, go to notifications, and have the address of the website there in the search field, and have the option to allow it.

Instead, there is nothing in the search field. If I manually add an address to the field, nothing changes. No option to "add', only options to remove sites.

Maybe a site will only be there if it is set up for notifications?

Please explain.

thanks

Hello noel_envoide,

Would you please try this (if you haven't already) :

When you're on that site, click on the 'i' in a circle, next to the padlock at the left side of the address bar.

Then click on the little black arrow on the dropdown (next to 'Connection') and then on "More Information", which will take you to "Page Info".

Click on the 'Permissions" tab and scroll down to "Send Notifications". Uncheck "Use Default" and check "Allow".

Then close and restart Firefox.

'Hope that will work .....
