Η although it does not work in Firefox 65 and 66.

According to bug tracker (#1, #2), users who are already registered with Firefox Monitor will receive a notification of the pages that have been compromised. Also, if the site fixed the gaps after the breach and data leak, then the browser will not show notifications.

Then, in the search bar, copy and paste “.fxmonitor.enabled ”and the setting will be displayed.
