Method Firefox uses for desktop notifications
I need to change the place where SDC add-on show its messages. The author of the plugin os@ovso.de says this: "The appearance of the notification is not under SDC's control. SDC simply asks Firefox to draw a notification and Firefox translates this request for the underlying OS. On Linux, distribution-specific customizations to the Firefox package can adapt this notification to your desktop environment." I probably have to change something in Openbox or may be in dbus configuration or something else. How does Firefox communicate with the rest of the system to make notifications on the desktop?

Hi, what is SDC?
I don't think Firefox offers any options for "styling" the desktop notification. Some related MDN pages:
- https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/notification
- https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Notifications_API
- https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Notifications_API/Using_the_Notifications_API
MDN generally directs developer support questions to the StackOverflow site, so I suggest that as a next stop if you do not get a solution here.
Sorry, probably there is a problem with my formulation of the problem. SDC-add on = self destructing cookies. My question is not about processes inside the Firefox but about the way Firefox informs the system that it wishes to put a notification on the desktop. I know I could read the code but I am not experienced enough to do so.
Hi lzlzlz, I'm not a programmer, either. Hopefully you'll get another suggestion.
