No, no, no to notifications!

Periodically, Firefox and Safari ask me if I would like to allow notifications from the web site I'm visiting.
My answer is "No, not now, and not ever."
How can I tell my browsers to ignore these requests?
Bonus Round: Same question, except for location information.
I'm on OS X 10.13.6 with current Safari; FireFox is 63.0.

Best answer: You can now do this in firefox without needing the above about:config changes (at least on windows, I assume mac is the same):
Under Options->Privacy & Security, click the Settings button next to Notifications.
Check "Block new requests asking to allow notifications"
There is a similar checkbox under location settings
