This is much better in the current development version of Fire. We suppress the duplicate dialogs, and only show one dialog at a time. If there are multiple alerts queued, you just get the next one when you dismiss the previous one. Also, the alerts do not block the rest of the app like they do in 0.32.x versions. > - command to "connect to 'auto-connect' accounts."
