Cannot turn off "Switch to this tab" notification.
So I enabled push notifications for Google Calendar. Every time there's a notification, Google Calendar ask if I want to enable "Switch to this tab" for their notifications. I accidentally turned it on, then I managed to turn it off. Except it now keep asking me if I want to enable it.
Looking at the settings, the only two options available are "Always ask" and "Yes", with no way of just saying no... why?

You can revoke this push notification if you do not want it.
See "How do I revoke Web Push permissions for a specific site?":
True, but then I wouldn't get the notifications at all.
I don't want to turn off the notifications, I just want the site to stop asking to enable "Switch to this tab"
You can remove all data stored in Firefox for a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox for this domain like history and cookies and passwords and exceptions and cache, so be careful. If you have a password or other data for that domain that you do not want to lose, make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.
If you revisit a 'forgotten' website, data for that website will be saved once again.

Now that is just... completely unrelated to the question.
Currently, instead of sending a push notification, it just does this pop-up when I go to the tab.
The "Forget About This Site" was about removing all permissions for this origin (protocol and hostname).
That pop-up is the result of the default 'Always Ask' setting for switch to this tab. A push notification requires a service worker that runs in the background.
