It's so easy to manage a website notification on Chrome. I wish it was same in Firefox too.

A place where u can only "Block" a certain website, not add a website so that u get the notification
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:69.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/69.0
Steps to reproduce:
So imagine if u are on a website, reddit.com.
You want to get a comment notification about the post u posted.
It's so easy if u are in Chrome, u can go to the "site information" section and turn on notification of that particular site.
But in Firefox this is not feasible. One u mistakenly deny a website from getting u a notification, it's almost impossible to revert it. U can't even add the website by going inside Preferences>Notification. All I want is "https://www.reddit.com" notification. And there is no way around. This sucks.
Actual results:
<>
Expected results:
Firefox should learn something from Chrome.
For now, Chapter 1: User explicit choice in adding a website to get notification
Chapter 2: Make Chapter 1 easier and faster like Chrome without having to go through Settings.

Hi Pranav,
Thanks for submitting this enhancement to us.
As I understand you are having issues with Reddit and it's web push notifications. After some digging, I found out that you have to activate this option from your reddit account's settings.
You have to go, on your reddit profile, to Settings - Notifications and activate the "Desktop Notifications". Once you've done this, you will receive notifications from Reddit and you will also have the option to see the website on Firefox's Notification Permissions.
Let me know if this works for you please.
Thanks!
Sebastian

It's not just Reddit. There can be billions of websites a user might receive a notification.
And Chrome is easy on this issue. So Firefox doesn't look its userfriendly when u compare it to Chrome.

I say it correctly this time, "There can be many other websites a user might receive a notification. In chrome, it is easier and in Firefox you have to take a deep dive in Firefox settings".
In other words, in Chrome's way of any website's 'notification management' is two clicks away but in Firefox its 5 clicks away.
Chrome saves time and brain usage to figure it out.

Hi Pranav,
I'm going to add a Product and a Component so one of our devs can take a look at this.
Thanks!
