channel notifications on firefox v 1.1

more options

My device is Zte-Open, I recently upgraded it to firefox 1.1. While , I am quite happy with most of the improvements, I can't seem to find out a way to disable these ugly notifications that keep popping up every few seconds. If I leave my phone unattended sometimes there might be even 50 of them in the notification bar!

The text in these notifications is usually : "Channel 50 location_information" Here is a screen shot of the phone with the active notifications http://s30.postimg.org/hl5yqk9tt/2013_12_20_15_48_57.png

I can't seem to find the correct option to disable these broadcast notifications.

I tried to see if I could find anything related to it under settings->notifications. I could only find "show on lock screen" toggle option there.

Thanks!
