the last time I remember I received a firefox notification it was using the native notification (i'm using KDE, I also have the KDE integration addon) yesterday I received a notification from lemmy, and this is how they appear, in the center of the screen and... very ugly. what changed? is there a way to get back the native notification?

(you can check how your notification works here)

EDIT: in about:config page, alerts.useSystemBackend is set to true, but still it does not use the native notification

Ok, first do Ctrl+N and paste https://www.bennish.net/web-notifications.html

Check notifications permissions
Test the notifications

I see the notification fits my theme... not sure why you think it's 'ugly'.

sorry 'ugly' is not the correct word, but if you notice these notifications are just firefox's windows (you can see it in the process bar on the left), so are not real notifications coming from your OS notification center however I don't know what happend, but today they fixed themselves... this is how they look like now:

I don't know what happened, I didn't even updated anything, I just enabled and disabled some settings, reinstalled libnotify and rebooted a few times

anyway thanks to anyone for the help!
