A [couple of users](https://intfiction.org/t/do-you-want-live-notifications-banner-cannot-be-dismissed/55544) on my forum have reported that the notifications banner can’t be dismissed by pressing the x. I haven’t seen it myself, can’t see anything in the forum’s error log etc.
> When I visit this forum I get a “Do you want live notifications when people reply to your posts? [Enable Notifications]” banner at the top. There’s an × at the right that should be able to dismiss it, but clicking it does nothing 😄
>
> This only leaves “Enable Notifications”. After clicking that it’s still possible to reject it in the browser’s notifications popup, so it’s only a slight user-friendliness issue.
>
> This is with Firefox 98.0.2, but it’s been the case for quite a while (I think it comes back every time I log in?). I’m using the dark theme, no idea if that matters.
> Report the same with Firefox. No use of dark theme. Will update with the version in the AM.
> Strange! I’ve seen the same notice on other Discourse boards, but there dismissing did work. For whatever reason that problem seems specific to here.
>
> I’ve tried narrowing down why it doesn’t work but couldn’t find anything obvious like an error in the javascript console and my JS debugging skill only go so far.
>
> It’s been the case for a year or so, mayb longer. I didn’t report it before because I thought it’d be some temporary problem that’d go away with the next update in forum or browser software (and who knows, it might).
Is there anything else I can do to help diagnose the cause?

As a follow up, I asked users to try dismissing the notification in multiple themes, and they still could not. As a temporary workaround, I asked them to accept notifications, then turn them off again in browser settings.

Sounds like this:
> [@Disable live notifications?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/disable-live-notifications/155663/9):
>
> Actually, I have to take this back. After restarting my browser and logging in again, the request to enable notifications is back. Discourse really doesn’t take “no” for an answer…
Or this:
> [@Disabling banner asking about live notifications](https://meta.discourse.org/t/disabling-banner-asking-about-live-notifications/235835):
>
> I keep getting this notification: “Do you want live notifications when people reply to your posts? Enable Notifications” I x it out but it keeps coming back over and over. How can I disable this for the entire site and all users on my Discourse? I already disabled the discobot but that is not what’s causing this to appear.
