You were logged out notification spam #170

Once I get logged out the likers blocker seem to not recognize that correctly. I get a notification after another. When clicking on them as soon as they appear I get one notification per second.

Clicking on them has no effect. If clicking on the icon in Firefox, there will be a very slow reaction for the popup: Like 5-6 seconds.

Then it shows briefly that I was logged out, and then switches over to trying to block further accounts.


However, if I ignore the popups, and go directly to the icon in the browser, it works as expected and I can click on login.

So somehow the clicking on the notification is resetting the add-on in thinking that everything is fine, and it tries to block again.


The add-on should do a cooldown for an hour or so after the first notification happens, instead of spamming the user with it.

It should also not retry the blocking calls, if it knows that they fail.

Let the user resolve it or wait for a couple of hours before retrying.
