Comment:

 We got a user on #tor today reporting something similar on Linux which has
 probably the same underlying issue:

 1) start Tor Browser
 2) go to a  website that offers web push notifications, e.g. ProtonMail
 https://protonirockerxow.onion, and log in
 3) after successfully logging in, the Tor Browser asks "Will you allow
 protonirockerxow.onion to send notifications", click "Allow
 Notifications".

 Expected result: every time I receive an email, I should get a
 notification (via libnotify or something like this) that looks just like
 any other KDE desktop notification.

 Instead of this expected result, I get no notification at all.

 Arthur, can you pick that up? I think it could be relevant to upstreaming
 the permissions patch you are working on.
