Firefox and push notifications
So, I've migrated from Chrome to Firefox, and it's great, but I have a couple of issues now. One of them is with web push notifications from Google. First, I had an issue with notifications not showing up at all (or maybe they do show up, but the timeout is short and I miss them), but I've solved that with this in about:config set to tru:
dom.webnotifications.requireinteraction.enabled
Now, notifications do stay on until I click them, but when I click them, all they do is close, disappear. And I'm talking only about YouTube notifications, when I get them from other websites, they work fine, I click on them and the proper link opens.
Any ideas how to solve this?

What is your homepage.
What do you mean by this? I use a custom homepage, Flame, if you're talking about that.
You could check your permissions for YouTube although I doubt they are any different since you have just started using Firefox.

Not just YouTube, it's the same for every website. If I'm at the computer at the time of a notification arrival, I can click on it in the next 20 seconds and the link opens. If I'm away, and I get back let's say after 3 hours, it's still there (because of that little "hack" from the 1st post), but when I click on it, it just closes the notification. If I don't use that little hack, the notification is gone after 20 seconds. Pretty useless. Chrome has that solved much MUCH better.
I don't understand you. I'm talking about push notifications. Why Firefox wouldn't send notifications from Google or YouTube?!
