Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.90 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox 55 triggers very very often and possibly without to be needed, changes to X11 server for the following values:
NET::WM2IconPixmap, NET::WM2OpaqueRegion
when the user the only thing is doing is just to hover a webpage


there is also a case in my system that if I search something in google and the page with the results triggers the above signals endlessly


the discussion with the window manager developers can be found here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383450



Actual results:

The window manager was sending the mentioned signals too often


Expected results:

Firefox shouldnt send this signals if its values arent changed
