Unified push is a self-hosted service with many free publicly hosted servers that enables Android to receive notification without relying on Google services. It is very popular with privacy focused, de-Googled roms (like GrapheneOS, LineageOS, or just first party Android, with Google services deleted), and since a lot of your user base is privacy conscious, many of them are probably using such de-Googled roms, like I do. 

So it would make so much sense to add support for unified push.

Hard agree.

Sunup, an UnifiedPush distributor for AOSP-based distros, uses Mozilla's push notification service as a backend. KDE Plasma on desktop can use it as well. IronFox (a hardened, deGoogled Firefox for Android) is also compatible with UnifiedPush.

Some apps that are distributed through the Play Store and, therefore, can use Google's FCM, also offer UnifiedPush support, like the Matrix clients Element and SchildiChat, Fedilab…

It would be great if Firefox for Android had native UnifiedPush support, either as a client or as a push distributor.
