This may be bug 1496650.  So I have questions.

1. no display means old notification disappear too?
2. How to install Firefox?  Using installer.exe package or zip file?
3. Do/Did you install both version of 32 bit and 64 bit?  (including past)
4. What registry key does your environment exist?  HKCU\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\TaskBarIDs, HKCU\Software\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\TaskBarIDs, HKLM\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\TaskBarIDs and HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\TaskBarIDs?  If thes registries have a garbage value, this notification doesn't work

Yes, ther are no notifications anymore.

> 2. How to install Firefox?  Using installer.exe package or zip file?
Until the update to 1809 I use the 64-bit ZIP version since the clean installation of Windows 10 two years ago. After the update I removed the ZIP-Version since it was not possible to make Firefox Nightly the default browser (http://mzl.la/1ScxB7w) for a newly created account. Then I installed the 64-bit Version with the setup (https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-nightly-latest-ssl&os=win64&lang=en-US).

> 3. Do/Did you install both version of 32 bit and 64 bit?  (including past)
No, I only use the 64-bit Version of Firefox and Firefox Nightly.

I have the same problem, with the same environment (Firefox Nightly 64bit on W10 64 bit 1809).

Same issue here.(with zip-versions)
It is necessary to have Start menu and TaskBarID to resolve this issue.

1. Launch regedit.exe
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\TaskBarIDs
3. Find out TaskBarID for the target path (TaskBarID is generated by installer/updater, so update at least once must be performed in case of zip-version)
4. exit regedit
5. On Windows Explorer, pin the target firefox.exe to Start menu
6. Run following command on PowerShell(or command prompt) with your UserName and TaskBarID

Win7AppId1.1.exe "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\firefox.lnk" TaskBarID

(Win7AppId1.1.exe can be downloaded from here https://code.google.com/archive/p/win7appid/)

And then, run firefox.exe and try notification.(Notification.requestPermission().then(() => new Notification('hello'));)
It works for me.

Installed version(65.0.1) has no issue since there is a link in start menu and it has correct AppID(=TaskBarID).

It worked for me. But you forgot to say that step 6 must be executed as Administrator.

My situation is the same. Despite uninstalling and reinstalling the browser twice. However, I am still having issues and download a https://wordle-unlimited.us/wordle-junior/. Is this issue resolved? I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue. It didn't work for me with any of the methods I tried.

We no longer rely on start menu shortcuts for toast notifications, so this should no longer be an issue.
