User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0 Build ID: 20180528185620 Steps to reproduce: When allowing/denying web notifications on a certain site, can the option of allowing notification but without showing its content be available? As use case: If I am using Telegram or Whatsapp web or any other similar service, I'd like to receive a notification to let me know that there's a notification in that said service without showing it's content. That is, the content of this notification would be "You have received a notification", instead of the actual message. This feature request is only for the ability to hide sensitive information when working in pairs, or when someone next to me is looking at my screen.

We won't implement this in Firefox itself since we want to use OS notification UI where possible and this problem will be left up to them to solve.
