RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1878037

People

(Reporter: tsukiyomaru0, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:123.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/123.0

Steps to reproduce:

Nothing in particular. Just waited for a notification to happen (also works when doing a "Take Screenshot" to force a notification).

Actual results:

The notification stole the focus, disrupting any other action. It is also being treated as a new window rather than part of the current window.

Expected results:

The notification shouldn't steal the focus and let any other actions proceed as normal. Preferably not be treated as a new window.

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.

Component: Untriaged → Alerts Service
Product: Firefox → Toolkit

This is bug 1878037, and happens only with alerts.useSystemBackend disabled. Can you check whether it's disabled? Thanks!

correct, alerts.useSystemBackend = false

We don't support that configuration with high priority, do you have a specific reason to disable that?

System's alerts are obnoxious in size and sound, as well as not respecting the focus (for example: popping on top of a full screen game), and in some cases dismissing itself before they can be clicked.
