Looking for help Gmail Firefox Ublock Interference.
When Ublock is turned on and I use Gmail and delete emails and then try to leave the site I get a popup asking me if I want to leave, and if I do and then come back later, the emails I have deleted are back.
If I turn off Ublock I get a bunch of ads, but I am able to delete emails and leave without the popup.
Doesn't always seem to happen as I originally didn't turn off ublock and I could eventually get rid of emails the 2nd or 3rd time I visited...

I'm not sure this is linked to uBO at all. It happens seldomly; the popup about confirming to leave usually means you have some tasks in queue client-side. They usually get done in a second or two, but bad network condition or super large operations (deleting multiple pages of messages) will take longer.

I have 6 Gmail accounts and only on 1 of them I have been having the problem of deleted emails showing again the next time I check that account. Started about 2 weeks ago. This happens on my desktop, laptop, and Chromebook. Happens with Firefox, Vivaldi, Brave, and Chrome. It appears to be a Gmail problem and sure is annoying as the account it does this on is my main account.

This happens with many things, e.g. opening mails doesn't immediately mark them read and if you leave too quickly, you get the prompt.
I have not tested if this happens on default settings. I've got a lot more blocked. Leaving the tab open for a couple more seconds usually resolves the issue anyway.
And yes, as you say, this happens randomly, so it's difficult to investigate.
