Subreddits or Search notifications not working
PM notification works fine. But i never received any notification from the subreddit or search feature.
Here is my setting
Subreddits Watch for new posts in the following subreddits buildapcsales
I am trying to get firefox notification for every new posts from the subreddit buildapcsales
Search Watch for specific posts in this subreddit Name: empty Subreddit: buildapcsales Search query: author:redditusername123
I am trying to get firefox notification everytime redditusername123 posts in the subreddit buildapcsales
Can you tell me what i am doing wrong?
Do you have new posts in the popup? If the only thing you don't have is notifications, I think you didn't select this checkbox
and this
It's disabled by default.

I didn't receive any popup/notifications with my settings above. Also I didn't check "Show desktop notifications ..." because i wasn't trying to receive desktop notifications. i was trying to receive notification only when i am using Firefox like how "Watch for new Reddit Mail" feature works. Not possible?
dom.webnotifications.enabled = 0
It's called "desktop notification" because it uses the operating system's notification mechanism not because it works outside Firefox. It is literally the same as notification about new mail.
My bad. I thought it's some kind of Windows desktop notification that shows even though user hasn't opened the browser. You know like the Chrome notification or Windows 10 native notification ,etc which i really hate. I really should have tested it lol. It's working!
Anyways, I have one question and a feature request.
Question:
What's difference between "Watch for new reddit mail" and "Show desktop notifications of new mail"? I had only "Watch for new reddit mail" checked and i was receiving new pm notification fine on firefox.
Request:
So now i am receiving new post notifications. I'd like to go to https://www.reddit.com/r/subreddit/new/ by clicking on the notification. Like how "Watch for new Reddit mail" notification goes to inbox when we click on the notification. New post notification currently just closes when clicked.
"Watch for new reddit mail" means that extension check for unread mail and shows their amount in the badge:
"Show desktop notifications" is something like this:
Request:
I will update the extension soon to support Firefox 75 (April 7) authorization changes and most likely add this feature as well.
I am on Windows 7. That probably explains some of my confusion/difference. Thanks!
