You may find this of use, edit and add to your prefs.js or user.js file:
// pref to control the alert notification
pref("alerts.slideIncrement", 1);
pref("alerts.slideIncrementTime", 10); // time in seconds
pref("alerts.totalOpenTime", 4000); // time in seconds
pref("alerts.height", 60); // height in pixels
