* '''Desktop notifications''' - if allowed, the site can send notifications for Firefox to display in the lower corner of your screen until you close the last tab for a site. This is beyond the control of Firefox, but could be tamped down with add-ons. Website scripts can display pre-permission dialogs even if Firefox ultimately won't allow the services.

There's no save button for this panel, changes are saved as you go. ![]() Scroll down to "Receive Notifications" and you can check the "Use default" box (so you are prompted in the future) or uncheck that box and select the permission you prefer (for example, Block).
