Hi,

I upgraded my snapshot yesterday evening and now it appears that desktop
notifications no longer work in firefox.

I first noticed it with Mattermost -- when a notification should be sent, it
shows a red bar at the top of the screen saying a Javascript error occurred,
then if you look in the JS console:

```
Uncaught Error: Notification failed to show.
```

This notification test page also seems to not work:
https://www.kenherbert.dev/browser-notification-tester/

If I click "Send Notification", then grant permission for the page to do so, it
shows: "Notification displayed? no - an error occurred: error".

Nothing in the JS console for this site though.

FWIW, `notify-send` works.

Is it just me? Or is this a problem for others too?

```
$ pkg_info | grep firefox
firefox-144.0.2     Firefox web browser
$ uname -a
OpenBSD arrakis.home 7.8 GENERIC.MP#81 amd64
```

Cheers
