Getting rid of facebook notifications on desktop

In an iMessage, a friend sent me a link to a facebook page. I was on my macbook air. This was a mobile facebook page link. I clicked it, not realizing. It opened into a browser in google chrome, and something popped up asking me if I wanted notifications. I clicked yes, just wanting the pop-up to go away (... bad choice.)


Now, I get facebook notifications popping up on my desktop in the right hand corner all the time.


HOWEVER, in my system preferences > internet accounts, I am not signed in on facebook, and never have been.


In my system preferences > notifications, a facebook icon does not exist. I never have had it there.


Yet the pop-ups keep coming up. I have not found a solution on how to get rid of these yet. Someone please help!

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2013), iOS 9, os x yosemite

Yes, this was the exact solution I needed. My problem was that my wife logged in to her facebook account on my Mac, and now I was getting all of her notifications on my machine. The other solutions would have disabled notifications on all my wife's devices too (not desirable) in addition to mine. This solution fixed the issue only on my device.

Thanks!
