Everytime time a webpage opens this "Notifications" message is displayed it is incredibly annoying and distracting.

It reads: "Would you like to show notifications from ..." Accompanied by the image of a megaphone.

Please send information on how to turn it of.

You can inspect and manage permissions like for "Show Notification" for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:

  • Click the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
  • Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
  • Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab

You can disable the notification service globally by toggling this pref to false on the about:config page.

  • dom.webnotifications.enabled = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
