Status update: Kit or Nikhil can clarify but I'm under the impression that bug 1153500 and bug 1153504 are the remaining blockers to shipping push on Desktop.

You need to adjust the test_*interfaces tests for this.

That is r-.  Not sure how to do that on ReviewBoard.

I think instead of these #ifdefs, it would be better to move this to firefox.js.

(Diff revision 2)
>  pref("dom.push.enabled", true);

This too!

Moving the relnote tracking flag from bug 1153503 to here as it seems that the fun is occurring here:

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]: Push notifications seems noteworthy.

I assume this is only available in ServiceWorkers? Then please mention that in the relnotes (to not confuse it with the different Push API implemented for Firefox OS):

[Suggested wording]: Implemented Push API via Service Workers
[Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API
I would rather say something like "not SimplePush, the FxOS-only API previously mentioned [here]" since we're not shipping the network interception functionality of Service Workers and don't want confusion by mentioning them.

I am not sure to understand what you are proposing. Could you propose a wording? Thanks
[Suggested wording]: Implemented Push API (note: not the same as SimplePush [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Simple_Push_API], the FxOS-only API)
[Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API
Sorry but most of the Firefox users/developers won't make a confusion with Firefox OS.
Moreover, this is clearly stated in the documentation.
So, I am using Florian proposal for the release notes "Implemented Push API via Service Workers"
(In reply to Sylvestre Ledru [:sylvestre] from comment #24)

But Florian's reason for noting "via Service Workers" was due to potential confusion (see comment 20) :)

I just don't want to have people think we're shipping all of Service Workers.  Please take that into account with your wording.

Thanks.
I tried to word it so it is less likely to be confused without being overly long/complicated. For the release, a blog post can point out that although service workers are exposed for the Push functionality, the offline/caching functionality is not yet exposed.

Is there a way to notify HMO writers that they should consider this in their write-ups? Also, someone may write a blog post highlighting the new Push functionality (while pointing out the above) that the release notes can link to.

+1

I think it better to just say the Push API is available. We can do a hacks post on it which can clarify if needed. If we say SW we need to say something like "The path to full Service Workers continues with the implementation of the Push API"
Wording updated to "Ship Push messaging with disabled web notifications from ServiceWorkers"
(thanks to Martin Best for the suggestion).
I've added a note to make this clear in the web notifications compat table, and updated the description in the release notes:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Notifications_API#Browser_compatibility
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/42#Service_Workers
Summary: Enable push notifications on Desktop → [meta] Enable push notifications on Desktop
