            Bug ID: 272907
           Summary: www/firefox: 116.0 no longer uses native notifications

Since Firefox 116.0 it no longer uses libnotify to display notifications
through KDE. KDE 5.27.6, FreeBSD 13.2-p1 on amd64

Furthermore, when it displays its native notifications it often hangs
completely so I had to turn notifications off. When it hangs the notification
box becomes locked in X-Windows (e.g. previous content from another window is
shown there). And all firefox windows will be unresponsive.

Things checked:

- About:config alerts.useSystemBackend is set to true (so it should use
libnotify)
- libnotify is still installed
- libinotify is also installed
- Don't see anything relevant to this in about:support
