Issue
If there are multiple notifications (possibly more than 5) in Cinnamon, clicking one of them erases all the notifications.

Steps to reproduce
Using firefox. Enabled notifications from Youtube. If there is more than 5 notifications, clicking one of them erases all the notifications. Sometimes, clicking doesn't open the link. There are multiple bugs going on with the notification system.

Expected behaviour
Clicking one of the notifications will open that notification and remove that particular one from the notification panel.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Cinnamon 4.8.6 with Firefox and more than five YouTube notifications, then review the attached Log files.zip and the notification behavior. Done means clicking one notification opens its link when applicable, removes only that notification, and leaves the others in the notification panel.
