Mozilla is the first browser vendor to block notification popups by default, according to the article. If a website shows a notification, the popup will be hidden by default, and an icon added to the URL bar instead.įirefox will then animate the icon using a wiggle effect, to let the user know there's a notification subscription popup available, but the popup won't be displayed until the user clicks the icon.

Usage stats showed that the vast majority (97%) of Firefox users dismissed notifications, or chose to block a website from showing notifications at all.Īs a result, Mozilla engineers have decided to hide the notification popup, that drops down from Firefox's URL bar, starting with Firefox 72. The move comes after Mozilla ran an experiment back in April this year to see how users interacted with notifications and also looked at different ways of blocking notifications from being too intrusive.

Firefox start hiding notification popups, by default starting next year. Its like Microsoft is waiting for me to click the icon to shame me into using Edge, LOL. All I have to do is click on the Firefox icon and I get the pop-up. Whats weird is that the pop-up occurs before Firefox even comes up. In a move to fight spam and improve the health of the web, Firefox will hide those annoying notification popups by default starting next year, with the release of Firefox 72, in January 2020.
