Cble ant Turn off Show Notifications Popup from Firefox

marksjc

The instructions for turning off notifications don't apply here, that setting is turned off and has never been turned on. Obfuscations about a Page Notification Window don't apply, that page of options does not appear. I get regular popups from Firefox to "turn on notifications" and I never will. Why is there not an easy and straightforward way to disable these popups? You seem to hide them by their name, are they notifications?

These are the annoying unnecessary waste of time tasks that drive users away. It doesn't matter what enabled them in the first place, I didn't. My explicit choice about notifications is clear and you have no reason and no permission to popup anything on my screen to question that choice.

Your UI discussions around, "it's OK if we do this for [reason], right?" needs to be modified to "for what specific purpose would we popup a question a user must answer, and how will the user react?" This is basic software design and it's really sad to see you fail this badly.

Title is:

Can't Turn Off...

Can you attach a screenshot of this popup from Firefox to "turn on notifications"? I don't think we have such a popup.
