Is there a way to adjust the timing of notification banners being display in the lower right of my screen... I notice that notification for "X (Twitter)" only last a few seconds, which is fine... but YouTube notifications will not disappear unless I select "Dismiss". I looked at Notification setting but don't see anything that seems to address that. Thank You

It seems certain sites are prone to fire popup tabs, with any click, right clicks included. I close them immediately and the second click acts normal, getting the nav result I was asking for. How to strength the popup blocking function to stop this distracting behavior? Thanks for any pointers. This may prevent me from staying on FF.

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.

I've been a Firefox user for at least 10 years. I recently installed Firefox on a new desktop PC, and the Firefox Privacy Notice tab popped up. "No worries," I thought, and read it and made my cookies choice. I didn't find anything about a separate "submit" or "Close" gadget, so I simply closed the tab. Now, every time I leave the Home page or open a new tab, the Firefox Privacy Notice keeps popping up. Please advise me how to close it for good.

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.

Hello,

I'm new to Firefox after changing from another browser.

I am looking for a setting to turn on notifications from sites such as Instagram to notify me with a pop-up window from the web browser.

Is this not available on Firefox?

If not available, I'd like to suggest this as a new feature.

If it is available, would someone help me find this to turn on when I signed into Instagram? It did not ask me if I wanted to turn on notifications.

Thanks
