Caution

Please note that Firefox pushes require https websites; Firefox pushes will not work with self-signed certificates (https/ssl). Use an SSL certificate signed by a trusted Authority.

Push notifications don’t work in the “Private” mode.

8. To configure Chrome or Firefox platform, open the Pushwoosh project with the app you want to send pushes to and click Configure for Chrome or Firefox.

9. In the Web Configuration opened, upload the private key generated in your Firebase project settings.

Note

The Server Key field is optional. If you are using a new project (Firebase Cloud Messaging API (V1) and later), you do not need to specify the server key.

10. Paste the Web Push certificate key pair and press Apply.

11. Add the Web Push private key in the Web Push private key field and click Apply. This key is required to ensure that Web Push notifications continue to work.

You can obtain the key from Firebase by navigating to Project Settings > Cloud Messaging > Web Configuration > Show private key.

Note

Make sure to integrate the Web Push SDK 3.0 into your Chrome or Firefox project.
