User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:123.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/123.0
Steps to reproduce:
With alerts.useSystemBackend=false on Firefox on Windows 10, trigger a notification (for example by taking a screenshot).
Actual results:
The notification displays as an actual new window, which interferes with alt+tab and window focus. Additional notifications create additional windows.
Expected results:
The notification should not be treated by Windows as an actual window, as it used to be.

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

Hi aptyget, thanks for the report! This is bug 1878037, let's track this there. BTW, do you have a specific reason to set it false?

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1878037 ***
I prefer the look of the toast notification compared to the native windows ones, and the fact they emit no sound -- I have some extensions that use notifications a lot and it would be annoying to have a windows notification pop up every time for those, plus having them stick around in the notification side panel.
It would be different if I could run my own notification server, as on GNU/Linux, but alas, Windows doesn't offer the option to customize the look and feel of its native notifications.
