I previously used the now defunct Gmail Notifier which placed an icon in the Windows tray and played a sound when an email arrived.

Recently I noticed that Gmail now has Notification working in Firefox. Notifications were activated in Gmail, however the notifications show up in a small window on the lower right, disappear very quickly, and play no sound--this does not work for me. Any way to change the behavior to get sound and place an icon in the tray?

In Chrome that notification is configurable.  I'd have to imagine it is in Firefox as well.  I don't use it, so I wouldn't be able to tell you how/where.  Have you googled "firefox notifications"?

Can't configure notifications for duration or sound in Chrome or Firefox. the Help for Notification does not mention any configuration. How it is done? I get a small notification window in firefox and chrome, get the icon in Chrome however it stays hidden despite the windows setting to "Show only when notifications". No sound Firefox or Chrome

help info follows:
Notifications

Some websites, apps, and extensions, such as Google Calendar, can show notifications on your computer desktop. Google Chrome alerts you by default whenever a site wants permission to automatically show notifications.

When you receive a notification, you’ll see a message appear in the lower right corner of your computer screen and an icon  appear in the notification area (also called the system tray) on Windows and the menu bar on Mac. Click on the icon to open the Chrome Notification Center to see older notifications that you have not dismissed.

Windows only: The notification area is a temporary source for notifications, so the Chrome Notification Center may be hidden. If you don’t see your Chrome notifications expand the notification area to see hidden notifications.

Get icon that won't show in Chrome despite being set for "Show Notifcations", no sound. Where are notification adjustment settings in Chrome?
