Bug#812843: iceweasel: Many notifications are not shown with libnotify enabled

Package: iceweasel
Version: 44.0-1
Severity: normal

I find that many HTML5 style notifications aren't shown in iceweasel (not
new in this version, just finally got motivated to dig a little due to the
notification enhancements advertised in this version).

Most notification demo sites work, but notably gmail only sometimes works,
and most annoyingly, google calendar _never_ works.

Searching in bugzilla, I find these reports that look similar, but I'm not
sure how to dig in further to find out if one of them matches my case:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1236150
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726594
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1162788

Installing this extension to disable libnotify usage makes notifications
from my "problem" sites work properly, though naturaully now with XUL
instead of libnotify appearance.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disable-system-alerts/

It's also worth noting that there are new notification control options as of
44.0 in the XUL version that don't seem to be accessible from the libnotify
version.
