Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Juan Simón]

Attachment: screenshot of notification

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Build ID: 20160319124722

Steps to reproduce:

Arch Linux 64 bits
Firefox 45.0.1 (installed from Arch repositories)
GNOME Shell 3.18.4

I have written a test extension with next javascript content (following this tutorial: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/High-Level_APIs/notifications ):

var notifications = require("sdk/notifications");
var myIconURL = "./lftp1.png";

notifications.notify({
   title: "Jabberwocky",
   text: "'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves",
   data: "did gyre and gimble in the wabe",
   iconURL: myIconURL
});

I execute this with 'jpm run'.

In addition, error console shows all of these messages: see screenshot2.


Actual results:

It shows the Firefox native notification, like web notifications (see screenshot1)


Expected results:

It should show a Gnome native notification.

Add-on SDK is gone, closing bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1399562

The replacement, the "notifications" WebExtensions API does show native notifications if available.
