Bug Description

In Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Firefox does not use the new Ubuntu notification system (black pop-ups on the right-side of the screen).

Workaround: install the xul-ext-notify package. (this works for notifications when a download is complete, I don't know for the rest).

I guess definitive solution would be to install xul-ext-notify package by default.

Also, not Mozilla has done as much as they can do with this, the only way to get this done at this point is to modify notify-osd so that's why that task is open on the other bug.

If you read the upstream bug linked in bug 501393, you'll see that
Mozilla added notifications, but they don't work with our
implementation. As for xul-ext-notify by default, I can check into that.
