Firefox plugin gets a bit excited about transient changes #57

I'm finding that the plugin seems to tell me every few hours that my fingerprint has changed, but all that seems to differ is 'adBlock' status. Now, I have it set so some sites are not blocked while most are, and I wonder whether it is looking a bit too often or something.

If nothing else, perhaps recognising that I have two identical fingerprints that I seem to be toggling between might be advised.

Thanks a lot for reporting this to us! I remember that I observed the same thing at some point but I forgot to look into it. We are currently preparing a new version of AmIUnique and I'll add that to the todo list of things to improve.
