I don't know when this started, but it seems browsers nowerdays only allow to request notification permissions in active tasks shortly after human interaction (Firefox wording below):
To test click on the icon next to the URL input of your browser and remove the notification permission manually.
So to make this work again, we show a red dot when no permission decision was made yet.
Then when you click on the button, we show a message
Requesting browser permissions to show notificationswhile doing that. Afterwards everything will just work fine again.I think we should backport this at least to all versions as long as the patch applies.
