On Android, most apps include toggles in settings to disable different notification types. It's annoying that they're on by default, but at last you can usually disable them. In Firefox, you can turn off the "Product and feature tips" notifications in settings, and I bet that would prevent that kind of notification appearing. As a last resort, you can disable notifications entirely per-app at the OS level by digging into the Android settings.


It would be nice if Firefox added a separate category for "Political Call to Action" notifications. That way we wouldn't have to miss out on "Product and Feature Tips", which are occasionally helpful. A bit of a moot point for me since I'm using FF on a Nexus 7 that doesn't support that level of selective muting


This notification came through the 'Browser' channel, not 'Mozilla tricks and tips' like you might expect. So, congratulations Mozilla, I've blocked all of the 'Browser' notifications for your browser.


+1 . Android has great notification management features and they are worth exploring if you care about this kind of thing.


If I have to disable something it's because of "anger", but I don't want "anger" about Mozilla. I want Mozilla to be the good ones.
