:pdahiya This probably relates to what you warned me about with frequency capping messages? Thoughts on how this should be handled differently (does it need to be handled differently)?

I'm kind of surprised this seems to be some difference between Windows 10 and 11, that might be an OS detail for applications spamming notifications that stay on screen.

@nrishel Expected Result in description of this bug expects ‘Finish making Nightly your default’ notification messages should be displayed each time.
My feedback in patch was if there is product need of hiding Toast Notification message after being shown certain number of times using custom frequency cap e.g. maximum twice in a day or an hour to avoid multiple click spam seen in win10 experience and yes unclear on win11 experience difference it does looks like OS level change.

Nothing stood out in the logs when testing this. At a glance it looks like Windows 10 has some kind of race condition wrt notifications when spammed. Windows 11 by contrast always kicks a notification to the action center if it is a persistent notification still visible when we re-issue the same notification ID, so the effect is that every other notification not moved to the action center via user interaction is moved into the action center when re-sent.

It might be worth creating a minimal program to verify the issue exists outside of Firefox, then sending it off to Microsoft. In the meantime, I don't think this is a critical issue to resolve.
