Description Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) 2016-01-01 19:12:55 UTC 
Clicking the notification as created by the "Notify me!" button on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/notification just causes another notification from the shell that the Firefox window "is ready", instead of immediately raising the window into the foreground.

Bizarrely, when Quassel IRC is running, the Quassel window is raised instead. The "is ready" notification still happens.

libnotify notifications from other applications seem to behave properly, as does clicking Firefox' own notifications when libnotify is disabled using the Disable System Alerts addon.

Comment 1 Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) 2017-03-07 15:08:39 UTC 
The Quassel issue was in fact unrelated (
https://github.com/quassel/quassel/pull/272/commits/38112a9e19283aa6768df9af14503ccbe09fe5b0). This weird interaction between unrelated apps made me think it could be a GNOME Shell issue instead of a Firefox one.

So I guess this can be closed now.
