On Windows, any notification coming from any Firefox extension, appears to be coming from the Firefox app. It would be cool to add a feature under (Privacy and Security --> Notification settings --> See attached image) that would allow to specify which extensions are allowed to send notifications and which are not.

Whenever I click on a notification news item it comes via The independent newspaper that I find very annoying. Is there a way of changing this? I was happy with Firefox the way it was until Microsoft mail was installed on my PC.

For the past few weeks, my Firefox app for android has been asking me to rate it in the app store everytime I open it. I've already rated and reviewed it in 2022, so there's nothing more for me to do. I tried editing my previous review to see if that would help but it hasn't. At first, regardless of which option I hit (whether I'm having a good or bad experience), it did nothing and just let me continue using the app. Recently, it's been bringing me to the app store everytime regardless of with option I hit, which is getting a bit frustrating. Is there anything I can do to get it to stop prompting me to rate it?

How do I ensure that I receive email notifications when there's a response to a question I've posted on this forum?

In my profile settings, "edit settings," I've checked the box "watch forum threads I start," and in "manage watch list" I've checked "questions."

I see I've received a response to a question I posted, but I've received no email. How do I ensure that I receive emails?

"Email me when someone answers the thread" on this page has also been selected.

Also, why are their two separate setting sections as noted above? And why am I only subscribed to the one question (under "manage watch list") I posted earlier today when I've been subscribed to my previous questions in the past? I can't even find an option to subscribe to my other previously asked questions.

All of a sudden the allow location permission window is popping up repeatably. I have the option turned off and every time I go to Amazon or Home Depot or any such place the window ops up requesting that location location tracing for the sites. I tried toggling the on/off for the option but it didn't stop it. Help!

I'm running Debian Buster, no outstanding updates, with Firefox 115.12.0esr. I recently got a message on starting Firefox that said an update was needed before 03/15 or I would lose certificate checking and other bad things. Looking at recent questions from Firefox indicated there had been occasions when "fake" update-needed messages appeared. The Firefox About display showed no indication of automatic upgrade download & installation occurring. How can I find out whether this is real or not? Thanks, Bill

I have Firefox for Mac iOS, and want to turn on notifications for Microsoft Teams, but I do not want them to ever make sound. Like ever ever. I cannot figure out how to turn on banner notifications while keeping them quiet (they always appear in the top right, as requested, but make a dinging sound.) The notifications panel in my System Settings is grayed out, and isn't allowing me to make changes to it for some reason. How can I can allow notifications in Firefox while suppressing any and all sounds those notifications they make?

Hi, my problem applies both to Firefox for Android (v147) and Firefox Nightly for Android (v149).

I have a relatively new phone and when I first installed and used both firefox apps, I had the notification that let you play/pause media that was playing, or tap the notification to open the tab playing said media. at some point I accidentally swiped away that notification on nightly, and now I can't figure out how to make it come back for either app.

I have notifications permission turned on, and in the notification categories submenu I have the "sound and video" and "media" options enabled. I can't find any other settings options that might affect it. I've force stopped the app and cleared the cache, hasn't helped. on my old phone (samsung s10e) if you accidentally did this it would just reappear next time you played media through firefox, but no such luck with this one (samsung s24).

where else should I be looking for settings that might be stopping the notification from appearing? I use nova launcher and have some of the goodlock apps installed - I couldn't find anything in either that seemed like it would do anything, but I could have missed something. or something in the phone settings?

The small green dot in the upper right that notifies me of a pending update is gone, since several months. When I navigate to About Firefox, or in the settings, I can see that a new version is available and it lets me install the update. But I miss being able to see the notification.

Did I disable some setting by mistake? Auto-updates should be turned on as far as I know.

Every day, I get the same reminders about new Firefox features. Every day, there's one about tab groups. I get daily reminders to sync my bookmarks. I do not need this every single day.

How do we turn off the reminders? Why do they not stop appearing after an update, the way they normally do?

Thanks!
