I'mdonewiththis forum Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Someone PLEASE tell me how to get rid of this damn pop-up about receiving notifications? I am running Firefox 51.0.1 with an ad blocker and a pop-up blocker. This is the notice I get on every page I open up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am running Firefox 51.0.1 with an ad blocker and a pop-up blocker. This is the notice I get on every page I open up. That looks like a Firefox dialog. What are the options in the drop down in the lower right corner? Ideally there will be an option for Never or Deny. You may also want to look at your Firefox settings. There are many web sties that ask for notification permission. I got the same message on Safari the first time after the upgrade. I specified deny. Line 1 - ends with just the return (enter) key. Line 2 - ends with shift-return (shift-enter) key combination. Line 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'mdonewiththis forum Posted March 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I have gone through the settings quite a few times trying to figure this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'mdonewiththis forum Posted March 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Looks like I got it taken care of. I found a setting in about:config that made the notification stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'mdonewiththis forum Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 The 'problem' was a Firefox problem. I did some research and went into the config file and changed one setting. You can also right click on a blank area of a page and go to View Page Info then click on the Permissions tab to change settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a message about "voiding your warranty", but don't worry about that, just click on the button "I accept the risk". Then in the search bar put dom.push.enabled. Toggle that setting to false and close the window. That's all there is to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you gone back into the config file and double checked the setting is still set to false? Have you tried the right click on a blank part of the page to set the "receive notifications" to block?

kb0zke Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Would one of you computer gurus please post a step-by-step to get rid of that popup? I'm on a Mac using Firefox 52.0.1.

I'm on a Mac using Firefox 52.0.1. When you get the popup: Click on the down arrow on the lower right corner and select Always Block Notifications. That should take care of the issue. If you select Not Now, that just says check again later. You can verify the setting by going to Firefox >> Preferences >> Content and select the Choose... button next to Notifications.

kb0zke Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 The "Always Block Notifications" choice isn't there on the original box. The "Not Now" is the only choice. I tried going to the Notification Permissions in Firefox to see if I could add the site that way, but I can't do that, either.

kb0zke Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Finally figured it out. Control click brought up the "View page" box, and that includes a notification tab, which allowed me to opt out of all push notifications (which is what this obnoxious thing is).
