  1. You can disable all push notification in Mozilla Firefox via the main menu Edit->Preferences->Content then by Notifications click on Choose button to change settings of every site that sends you push notifications.

    You don't have to install any add-ons or modify any file on your OS.

    Check this screenshot: Screenshot of allowed sites to send notifications

    For further information about Push Notifications in Mozilla Firefox:

    Control Center - manage site privacy and security controls
