You cannot use Firebase for Firefox. Firebase is just for Chrome.

When you send a push notification from a website you are using the Push API, which is a standard. Based on this standard, each browser manufacturer provides a push service for its browser. Firefox for example uses Mozilla autopush.

You have two options:

  • deal with the different services
  • use a service that provides a layer of abstraction, so that you deal with just one API: check out Pushpad for example (I am the founder)

UPDATE: now Firebase has introduced support for Firefox. When you send a notification to Chrome the notification is delivered directly by Firebase to the browser. If you send the notification to Firefox, then Firebase behaves like any other push service (e.g. Pushpad, OneSignal, etc.) and forwards the notification to Mozilla autopush, which then delivers the notification to Firefox.
