Starting from version 72, Firefox will require a user gesture when calling Notification.requestPermission() [0] and PushManager.subscribe() [1].
Requests that do not follow a user gesture will be automatically denied. We will, however, show a small UI indicator that can be used by Firefox users to retroactively grant permission to the site. Starting from Firefox 71, there will be a warning in the developer console. This restriction was implemented and turned on by default in Nightly and Beta earlier this year [2]. Until recently we ran a set of experiments and studies around notification permission prompts. We're making this change in order to improve the acceptance rate of notification prompts in Firefox after running a number of user studies. The details and rationale can be found in our blog post[3]. This change will be made in bug 1593644. Please see the above linked blog post for more information and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
