Hello:

I'm not certain if this question comes under Firefox or not:

How do you stop a specific computer software program-app pop-up notification (popping out from the lower right corner of your computer)?

As an example, I have a utility program, IOBIT Malware System Care that pops-up various notifications such as "update notice," "renew," "discount sale" or whatever notice or ads that is 'pushed'.

-I went to my Windows 11 list of installed app "notifications" and this program is not listed. -I tried contacting tech support but they haven't responded. -I went to Firefox 'Settings' -> Privacy & Security->Permissions and then I opened up 'Exceptions' to see if I can block something. It wants me to put in a specific website. The issue is not a website but coming within a software / app program.

So how and where do I stop a "pushed' notification? I assume it's coming in via my browser / Firefox?

Thank you in advance,

Steven

Hello,

Not sure if it is related to Firefox, but you can easily check that. Just right-click the notification (either when it pops up or in the Notification panel) and see what the option "Turn on all notifications for..." says. Usually it gives the name of the app which issued the notification. What is it in your case?
