SUMMARY When I start my computer after a long time of no use, I get flooded with too many notifications on screen. Some of them are critical WHILE I work on the computer so I don't want to use the autoclose timer, but not so critical in the first few minutes after I just logged in. Please add an option to limit any application to only a few notifications at the same time, with the option to show all if I choose. 5 bubbles may be a good starting point. If there are more than a predefined number, reset the timer, increment the number of unread notifications in the systray and add a button with something like 'Show X more notifications...', preferably in the same bubble. Thanks! STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a few programs that show notification for events that happened while the computer was turned off. (A browser with youtube notifications enabled is a good example) 2. Turn on the computer after a long time. (A few days is enough with just youtube notifications) 3. Enjoy a screen full of notifications that pop all at once, the moment that firefox connects.

There's a flood protection where it ignores identical notification requests in quick succession but when the app sends a tonne of notifications the app needs to be fixed.
Yeah, I would recommend that you file bugs on the apps that are causing this for you. It's really bad behavior. We can't work around it on our side because sending a few notifications in rapid succession may actually be intentional and desired behavior. But when the app sends like 500, that's just silly.
