I regularly get Android notifications with the Firefox logo from "gamespot.com". I do not remember approving this site for notifications but whatever, lets assume user error on my part. I want to revoke these permissions. Following the instructions from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-notifications-firefox-android , when I click the notification or otherwise go to gamespot.com and select "Site Settings", the box is already unchecked. I have tried toggling it on and off but I continue to get notifications from this site.

Is there a way to view all existing approved site notifications like in Desktop Firefox?

Need to check the box for the site, then tap "Clear" Also, about:serviceworkers

Hi

There is no way to view approved site notifications, but the best way of resetting the preference for that site is to swipe across to the history panel, long press on the site and remove it from the history.

I hope that this helps.
