What happened?

Notifications produced by Zen Browser appear as dialogue boxes. Here's an example from Discord, but it happens consistently with all notifications. (Including the notification that appears when I send a tab to Zen from another browser I have logged in to Firefox Sync.)

This does not happen with any other browser -- I have both Firefox and Floorp installed and they don't do this.

Some web searching tells me that notifications on Linux do this if the timeout parameter is set to 0. I don't know if that's what's going on here but I figured it couldn't hurt to mention.

This is still an issue in the latest Flatpak version, 1.12.5b. It's not an issue on AppImage, but I prefer Flatpak.
