User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.108 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: 1) Switch dom.webnotifications.enabled to `false` from about:config 2) Visit a website which utilises web notifications such as deezer.com Actual results: The website appears for a split second after which it turns and remains blank. Expected results: The website should continue to work.
I am unable to replicate the behaviour on other websites. With dom.webnotifications.enabled set to false, the websites detect that notifications are disabled and do not attempt to push any. Perhaps Deezer lacks such a check.
Disabling notifications altogether does not cause any issues with Deezer in Chrome.
This seems to be an issue with deezer website being "optimized" for (or tested only in) Chrome. Please report this bug on www.webcompat.com

@3185634796, it would be very helpful if you could try the same scenario on a fresh Firefox profile, and also on the Nightly version (Firefox 59). I could not reproduce your issue. I also commented on https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/14658. Let's take the discussion there, but please use a GitHub account when posting.

@Sergiu Hi, mate. Please ensure you are logged in to the website.

The bug is replicable on the Nightly build with a fresh profile.
I would like to add it is not replicable on Firefox Nightly thanks to the new 'Block new requests asking to allow notifications' option in the settings. Switching the flag dom.webnotifications.enabled to false from about:config is not required to block all notifications on Firefox Nightly.
