except when they aren't - I had a firefox bug for a couple years where the browser showing a notification would completely hang it for at least 15-20 seconds

I had this as well with Mumble. The problem was that I didn't have a notification daemon running, so the application was timing out trying to connect to the respective bus. Autostarting a barebones notification daemon like Mako fixed the issue for me.
