How do I enable Windows 10 Pro to allow notifications for Firefox?
This seems to be an issue with Windows (running 10 Pro) on my laptop, but I'm hoping someone can help. In Windows notification settings, I can select some programs/apps, for which Windows will allow notifications (see screenshot). Firefox is not listed among these, although Opera is. I've been hoping that one of the recent Firefox updates would fix this, but that hasn't happened. I do have notifications enable in Firefox, but those notifications aren't getting through to Windows.
Anyone know how to solve this? Thanks!

Maybe you need to get a notification at least once in order to approve it? You could try this test page:
A message should drop from the left end of the address bar to allow the page to send notifications. Then if you scroll down past the shaded code box, there's a demo button.

For that to work it must show up in the notification for Windows in the screenshot you provided. And looking at mine I don't see that listed as part of those notifications.

jscher2000, thanks that worked, mostly. A notification pops up, but there's no sound, and I can't find a way to turn on audio for notifications. Is that possible? Thanks again!
Hmm, I don't know if you can have audio with notifications. Sites can generate audio in other ways, so they might have to do both independently.
