Make the addon restartless when a user enables/disables it #84

Make the addon restartless when a user enables/disables it.

Here are some quotes from 
https://adblockplus.org/blog/why-you-should-make-your-next-add-on-restartless
1. It is nice to install an extension within a second and to continue doing 
whatever you’ve been doing before
2. Testing a restartless extension during development is easier
3. Only the install manifest and a single JavaScript file are required
4. You don’t have to worry that another extension will declare a variable 
with the same name
5. If your extension leaks memory or doesn’t clean up after itself properly 
you will notice
