setting notifications in gmail ignored

Firefox is both my default browser and default email on Windows 10.

I use mail.google.com for email.

I set notifications in google mail to ON and save the settings. But new messages do not appear in the notification field.

hello,

   please follow these step for notification for new mail


    On your computer, open Gmail.
   In the top right, click Settings Settings and then See all settings.
   Scroll down to the "Desktop notifications" section.
   Select New mail notifications on, Important mail notifications on.
   At the bottom of the page, click Save Changes.


If you use inbox categories and turned on notifications for new mail, you'll only get notifications about messages in your Primary category. If you turned on notifications for important mail, you'll get notifications for everything marked as important.

I've done that several times. It makes no difference.

I've tried to tell Windows 10 (in the notifications and actions setting) that it should accept Firefox as an app which can create notifications.

Again to no avail.
