Info popups block useful parts of screen for several seconds

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox

What happened?

all info popups. for example:

1. AR->Add transaction
2. info bubble "Loaded" shows on most of upper right of screen
3. this covers over the "salesperson" dropdown for 2-3 seconds, slowing workflow

What should have happened?

Options:

1. easiest: allow user-setting (in UI ideally, or in config) to reduce time of info popup (in ms from 0, nonexistent, to 5000, say)
2. move popup somewhere (possibly configurable), and make smaller -- eg. inside the left control panel screen (less likely to interfere with workflow). this could also be configurable.
3. make the popup subtler, like a css change in background image that conveys the info without interfering in workflow

One way to work around this is by clicking on the popup, which will dismiss it.

ah, i didn't know that. it's still an extra click, but it helps for sure.

there is also a setting to suppress the popups entirely (to speed up our testing framework), but that's only a database-level setting.

insert into defaults values ('__disableToaster', 'yes');
