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.
