Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Firefox from a WordPress dashboard whose site language is Hebrew, then compare it with Notifications deactivated. Read the discussion in #2698 and the linked WordPress support report; done means the dashboard and widgets.wp.com stop loading repeatedly while Notifications remains active.
