Fix broken watchlist mute functionality

[SebastianZimmeck]

It looks like the watchlist mute functionality is broken. When I mute my email address, as below, I still keep getting alerts. @PattonYin, maybe you can start first checking whether you can replicate that behavior.

This is a minor issue. I am mostly opening it to not forget it. We have more important issues at the moment.

If this proves difficult to pinpoint, just removing the mute functionality completely will work as well. Besides the inconvenience of entering any watchlist keyword again, I do not see a disadvantage (although, we have to make sure; maybe, I am overlooking something).

I was able to reproduce the bug. But it seems like the issue is with any keyword, not specific to email addresses.

I was able to reproduce the bug.

OK, great! The next steps are then to find out what causes this behavior and how the code can be changed to make it behave correctly.

One other point to consider, @ananafrida. As you mentioned, you could not reproduce the behavior when you installed PP from source and used Firefox Nightly.

What happens if you install PP from source on normal Firefox?

I am asking because maybe someone already fixed this issue and it is just not yet in the version deployed on the Firefox Add-on store.

[ananafrida]

The bug doesn't occur when I install PP in Firefox Nightly. In fact, Firefox Nightly doesn't give notifications at all. It only occurs when I install PP in normal Firefox. Does that bring us anywhere?

It only occurs when I install PP in normal Firefox.

Did you install using the current source code or the version from the Add-on store?

If you have not tested with the current source code version, is the bug there?
