This web push worked in Chrome and Edge, but not in a fresh Firefox profile or in an older build from mozregression.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Notifications and Alerts' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Can you give us some more details about your OS, Firefox versions tested, etc?

I'm on Windows 10 (19045). I tested multiple versions going through mozregression, but couldn't find a version that ever worked. These older versions were with a fresh profile and no add-ons.

Thanks, this is helpful. I don't think this has anything to do with recent changes to the Windows native notification presentation layer. This also doesn't work for me, but I don't know why that is so. Can you use another test site such as https://bgrins.github.io/devtools-demos/misc/notifications.html and verify that notifications themselves are working? After that, we'll want to verify that SW Push is working -- that's where the issue appears to be. Can you try the very last few demos at https://web-push-book.gauntface.com/demos/notification-examples/ and see if they work for you? (They work for me.)

I've used this website to test on before and in the past it did work. I wasn't able to trigger a break point in ToastNotification::Init() so I suspect this is a webcompat issue.

Yes, I was able to successfully receive notifications from the tests linked on both sites.

https://webpushdemo.azurewebsites.net/ is dead now, is this still a problem in some other websites?
