Subject. Works perfectly for the same sites in Chrome. The notification of the service does not appear when using Firefox.

This is a known problem and there isn't really anything that can be done about it currently. Firefox simply doesn't provide accessibility events in the browser on Android. I have talked with the mozilla dev team and they have acknowledged this.

The only workaround at the moment (I have been told) is to use Firefox Focus.

Thanks! Sorry for bothering you.
BTW, I've found the same issue with Firefox iOS but thought things are not the same on android. So, could I close the issue in favor of the older one for Fx iOS?

The iOS problem is fixed in Firefox 8.0 (unreleased still).

It's strange that issue is solved for iOS and isn't for Android. Thanks for support anyway.
