Notifications issue in Firefox

I was working on web notification module where I have to send notifications to web application users. In google chrome and edge push notifications works smoothly but when it comes to mozilla firefox its not the case. I was not able to receive any notification when I have signed in with firefox browser. After searching about this issue on the internet I found that its the thing with windows 10 action center.

All web browsers have their own built in notification functionality. When windows 10 was launched it came with new action center. Some browsers have started using this action center. In google chrome it's default setting.

In the case of firefox user need to enable it manually by changing configuration.

Here are steps to enable web notifications in firefox browser.

*Step 1 *:- Open mozilla firefox and go to about:config
, it will shows warning message, accept the risk and continue.

Step 2 :- now type alerts in the textbox and it will shows a preference

alerts.useSystemBackend

mark this preference true - if you want to receive web notification in the firefox browser.
mark this preference false - if you don't want to receive web notification in the firefox browser.
