Description

The Web Extension produces duplicate logs w/ identical class structure and time stamps (incl. microtime).

Affects 'SENSSOFT-336', 'SENSSOFT-192' branches, and pre-Gulp 4.0.0 'SENSSOFT-192' builds. 

Affects logs originating from both Firefox and Chrome

Confirmed that this isn't an indexing problem with Elastic–duplicate logs appear in local file using our example server test utility.

Confirmed using both temporary 'unpacked' extensions built from source, and pre-build extension on chrome store.

Behavior noted following upgrade to recent versions of Chrome/Firefox (72/65)

Confirmed that this behavior DOES NOT affect UserALE.js script tag deployments.

Confirmed that this behavior originates from browser using java "example" log server (see below).
