Title:
  Online Accounts continually spams my desktop browser

Status in signon-ui package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  When, for whatever reason, Online Accounts loses access to Facebook,
  my gear icon turns red and I need to re-grant access to Facebook.
  When I bring up the Online Accounts window, a new tab in my desktop
  browser pops up prompting me to log into Facebook.  Worse, in the
  background, ever so often, a new tab will be created, again prompting
  me to log into Facebook and focus will be shifted from whatever I'm
  currently working on to this new tab.

  This is a regression from Raring.  There, when I need to re-grant
  access to FB or whatever, no focus stealing tab is ever created in my
  desktop browser window.  Instead, a separate window will be created
  inside the Online Accounts window, but even then, only when I
  explicitly click on the menu item.

  Focus stealing is highly disrupted to my work.
