Sounds horrible......"Firefox can deliver on-screen notifications even when that site isn’t loaded" [View all]

Why would I want this feature ???

Starting with version 44, Firefox can deliver on-screen notifications even when that site isn’t loaded. Using the Push API, a W3C standard, Firefox receives a push message and can show notifications (if permitted by the user) at any time.

Sites can also use Push to update data in the background even without showing you a notification.

If you already gave permission to a site to send notifications, the site will also be able to use the Push API.

You can choose whether or not to give permission for a site to send you notifications by following these instructions:
