Receiving a notification and sound when a new email arrives in GMAIL

I do not receive a notification or sound when a new email arrives, even though it is set to do so in GMAIL's settings and I do receive it in EDGE.

Thanks!

In Firefox, if you go to Gmail -> Settings -> General (https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/general), does it say "Notifications have been disabled in this browser."?

Check Firefox Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Permissions -> Notifications. Is mail.google.com in the list?

If it is, make sure its status is set to Allow.

If not, make sure "Block new requests asking to allow notifications" is unchecked. Then reload Gmail and in the notification settings you will have the option to "Click to enable desktop notifications for Gmail."

@Mark Thanks for the detailed response! I've already tried all of this, and unfortunately my GMAIL insists on not sending notifications in FIREFOX but only in CHROME and EDGE. Does it work for you?
