[Companion] Still no refresh

[Brian Erst]

Brian -

I tested your test version of Companion and it had no effect. To be
safe, I disabled all extensions other than Companion. 

I looked through the source code and can find no obvious differences
(that would affect this). The NewMailAlert object and RefreshAlert
method look the same (with the exception of the move to the \not
version of the notifier stream, which should be fine - we've had it in
other releases). 

My only thought is that that there is some sort of conflict between the
old FF extension and the new one. I deleted the old .jar file from the
chrome directory, but I may need to do a complete reinstall.

Once you've got the button removal version to a point where you think
it's stable, we should probably reenable the dynRefresh method or at
least slap it onto a longish timer.
