"Add This Product" button becomes active only after a few secconds on slow connections.

I have verified this issue using the latest version of the Price Wise (8.0.0-signed) version and the issue is still reproducible on https://www.walmart.com/, using a slow Internet connection. The "Add This Product" button is briefly active after the page is fully loaded and after that is no longer active.

However, on https://www.homedepot.com/, after the page is fully loaded, the "Add This Product" button becomes active only after a few secconds.

In order to test this I have simulated a slow Internet connection using the "Network Link Conditioner" app.,on Mac, and also with the functionality from RDM mode.
Attached is a screen recording of the issue:

@Softvision-RemusDranca I've made a version of the add-on with the original workaround we had: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/LCrGGoJF/price_wise-8.0.1-signed.xpi

Using that add-on on release, I can't replicate the bug at all, on slow or fast connections. Can you confirm whether you can replicate the issue with it?

I have retested this issue with a slow connection using the provided Price Wise (8.0.1-signed) version, and the issue is no longer reproducible.
However, I have observed that the green badge flickers while the page is loading. Is more visible on slow connections, but this can also be observed on good connection. Should I log a new issue for this behavior, for tracking purpose?
Tested on Windows 10 x64, Mac 10.13 and Ubuntu 18.04 x64.

I'm going to close this issue as it has been verified that it is no longer happening. Please file a new issue for the flickering behavior.

Reopening, as the 8.0.1 version was a one-off build, and this fix has not landed yet.

We'd probably mark it as WONTFIX as it's an unavoidable side effect of bug 1493470. Once 64 hits release it won't happen anymore, but until then there's not much we can do besides this workaround and its flickering.

If filing and WONTFIXing it helps your tracking though, that's cool.
