Hello,

I am a recent convert to Firefox Quantum 59.0.1 coming from Chrome; I am running macOS High Sierra. I have noticed that when I am watching a fullscreen video (YouTube or Netflix, for example), app notifications (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204079) seem to be hidden and do not show. When I use Chrome or Safari, the notifications show up despite a video playing in fullscreen mode by default.

Does anyone know why they don't show up in Firefox and/or how I may fix this? I have missed several iMessage and Telegram notifications while watching fullscreen videos in Firefox.

Thank you!

Hi,

macOS notifications don't show

Please ask your question in a Mac forum to see, as this sounds like a Mac issue and not a Firefox Issue.

I am not experiencing this issue with any other browser.

So does that mean that Mac Forum has had no problems with people reporting this issue and that there are no others as you have checked in the forum and that Firefox 59. has been tested and cleared by them.

Please follow this up in the Mac Forum as to why a Mac Notice is not showing.
