I updated Firefox to 111.0(64-bit) this morning. My push notification from sites I allow started running through Windows notifications instead just popping up like normal. I read an article that said I could disable this feature through Windows Settings and the push notifications would start showing up like they used to. Unfortunately after I did this I stopped getting push notifications at all. Would have left it to go through Windows notification but it makes an annoying sound every time I got a notification and that got old fast. I just want push notifications back like they used to be.

I run Firefox on Windows 10.

Firefox 111 now uses native Windows notifications by default so if you disable them in Windows settings you won't get any notifications at all in Firefox.

To receive push notifications in Firefox, open the about:config page (see Configuration Editor for Firefox for details) and toggle these preferences to false: alerts.useSystemBackend alerts.useSystemBackend.windows.notificationserver.enabled
