Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: Push Subscriptions, defect)

Description

[Alexandru Trif, Desktop Test Engineering [:atrif]]

Attachment: push_notification_not_working.gif

Affected versions

• 75.0a1 (20200220224950)
• 74.0b6 (20200221001238)
• 73.0.1 (20200217142647)

Affected platforms

• Windows 10x64
• Ubuntu 18.04
• macOS 10.15

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Firefox with a new profile and go to https://serviceworke.rs/push-payload_demo.html.
2. Click on “Change whether you can receive notifications from the site” (message icon near padlock) and “Allow notifications”.
3. Click on “Request sending a notification!” button.

Expected result

• A notification is displayed after 5 seconds (refreshing the website and clicking “Request sending a notification!” button makes notifications to work as expected).

Actual result

• Nothing happens.

Regression Range

• Will search for one ASAP.

Notes

• The issue is reproducible with "dom.serviceWorkers.parent_intercept" pref on true or false.

• Attached a screen recording.

• Also the issue is reproducible even if the website notification permission is cleared and allowed afterward.

• The issue is not reproducible if “Allow notifications” is pressed from automatic door hanger. E.G if following next STR:

1. Open Firefox with a new profile and load https://serviceworke.rs/push-payload_demo.html.
2. Rapidly click on Request sending a notification! button and Allow notifications from the door hanger. Here is a screen recording for a better understanding: link.

• Also worth mentioning that “Push Service” is shown for the website in question only when clicking “Allow notifications” by following the STR from Notes or when refreshing the page.

This is expected, the website is not handling the permission change correctly:

It calls pushManager.subscribe without having permission (which is denied for on-load prompting) and will not attempt to retry subscribing when the permission is finally granted. They should probably simply subscribe on clicking the button.
