I want to disable the notification when I launch Firefox browser through Selenium Webdriver.

I found this answer, but it's deprecated and does not work for me on Firefox (it works perfectly on Chrome though).

I'm use this dependency for my pom.xml:

<dependency>

    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>

    <version>3.11.0</version>

</dependency>

java selenium selenium-webdriver selenium-chromedriver geckodriver

If your usecase is to disable the notification following are the options :

• 
  

  To disable notification in Firefox browser client take help of a FirefoxProfile and pass the Key dom.webnotifications.enabled with Value as false :

  
  
  

  System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\path\to\geckodriver.exe");
  
  ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
  
  FirefoxProfile testprofile = profile.getProfile("debanjan");
  
  testprofile.setPreference("dom.webnotifications.enabled", false);
  
  testprofile.setPreference("dom.push.enabled", false);
  
  DesiredCapabilities dc = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
  
  dc.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, testprofile);
  
  FirefoxOptions opt = new FirefoxOptions();
  
  opt.merge(dc);
  
  WebDriver driver =  new FirefoxDriver(opt);
  
  driver.get("https://www.ndtv.com/");
  
  

  
  

Note : This method uses an existing FirefoxProfile by the name debanjan stored in my local system which was created following the documentation at Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows

• 
  

  To disable notification in Chrome browser client take help of a setExperimentalOption() to pass a HashMap containing profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications with Value as 2 :

  
  
  

  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe");
  
  Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
  
  prefs.put("profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications", 2);
  
  prefs.put("credentials_enable_service", false);
  
  prefs.put("profile.password_manager_enabled", false);
  
  ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
  
  options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
  
  options.addArguments("start-maximized");
  
  options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
  
  options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
  
  options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
  
  WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
  
  driver.get("https://www.ndtv.com/");

  @vixsimplex I have added a reference with respect to you question within the comments. However as per best practices avoid using the default FirefoxProfile as it may contain add-ons, bookmarks, etc. As a result you may face Timeout Errors while loading the default profile.
