Related: About this forumI need to stop the constant DU pop-up notifications.
When logged on as a star member, I get constant pop-up messages when browsing DU. They read:
DU
We'd like to send you some notifications
Notifications can be turned off anytime from browser settings
Dismiss Allow
This happens only when browsing DU on my phone, where I use the Firefox browser. It doesn't happen in Firefox on my laptop.
I've tried disabling all notifications in my Firefox settings, but the pop-ups continue.
Is there anyone else who has encountered this problem, or might have advice on fixing it?

(6,576 posts)I gave in and clicked "Accept" instead of "Cancel" when the pop-up appeared on my phone. That was followed immediately by a dialog box asking, "Allow notifications from https ://www(etc.)?
I chose "No" in the second dialog box, and have been free of the pop-ups ever since.

Dunno if this will help on your phone. I use Chrome on my Android and haven't had to do anything.

I can also go to Firefox settings > Privacy & Security > Notifications and enter https://www.democraticunderground.com for a block, but this is on a PC so I'm not sure it applies to your situation.
