'''Mozilla Push Notifications''' is a project that aims to create a system that allows for notifications from clients (such as web applications or services) to be sent directly to the browsers of its users. A typical example where such a system could be useful is the eBay auctioning system. If a user makes a bid on an item, it would be convenient if that user could leave eBay and start browsing another web site, but still receive notifications if another user bids on that item, allowing them to act on the bid. | '''Mozilla Push Notifications''' is a project that aims to create a system that allows for notifications from clients (such as web applications or services) to be sent directly to the browsers of its users.
