I sometimes miss push notifications, so I would like to see a history of what and when I have received notifications in the sidebar, like the action bar in Windows.

I too hate how I miss notifications and had to use a CSS to make the notifications always last.... and then am annoyed how they last forever and I have to click to close each manually. 😄

On a related note, this would work to address the main Idea here if I could have the notifications spawn in a different monitor. Then, all the notifications would "pile" up on that monitor.

I reported this as a bug here if anyone would like to vote for it:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1795604

Ultimately though a "notification center" button would be ideal, complete with a "Dismiss All" button.

firefox notification disappear extremely quickly and are never seen again... so what's even the point?

there should be  a history and a notifications alert for ones you have missed.

Obviously it should be integrated with the windows notifications. Not implementing it just because linux doesn't have them is silly.

Imagine if on mobile firefox didn't integrate with the built in notifications and instead just showed a weird custom popup for 5 seconds each time (as long as you have the browser already open). That wouldn't make sense. Just like how the current desktop notifications dont make any sense.

I reported this issue 3 years ago https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1625768 and it was marked as a duplicate and it still has not been implemented in Firefox. Sigh

I also reported this issue 4 years ago under https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1545326 and nothing has changed. Notification disappears after the # of seconds specified in the Windows settings. Only if the end user opens up the action center does one see all the missed notifications.

That's the expected behavior on Windows.

Push notifications at least those from YouTube in Firefox are a lot less useful. Clicking on the pop up alert does nothing. Clicking on the notification in the action center for a YT live stream does nothing. In Chromium based browser clicking on the popup notification would open up a tab for that YT video.

Ease of Access -> Display -> Show notifications for X seconds
