@bridiver maybe because of the mutation observer removal and replacing with a timer?

might be part of it, but I don't think that would cause the permission dialog to do nothing when clicked

Test Plan:
1. enable flash
2. go to pandora.com, click the 'get flash' button
3. click 'allow' in the flash notification bar
4. observe that the notification bar is gone

problem appears to be that navigator.mimeTypes and navigators.plugins is now empty regardless of the Flash controls. i.e., if i remove the blockFlash and flashListener content scripts and set the flashActive content setting to 'allow', Flash still doesn't work.
