Background URI matching on initalisation

[fatdunky]

Hi,

I have been trying to get session-alive working with outlook webmail.

What i have found is, the rules work when using "Add a Rule for the page". But then when opening a new tab or reopening the browser etc the rule is not applied.

The issue appears to be that outlook adds alot onto the end of its URL etc.

So in background.js when you match the URI (line 234), you do an exact match:

if (bg_triggerUriVal !== "" && bg_triggerUriVal.replace(/\/$/, '').toLowerCase() == uri) {

From debugging i can see the following values:
​

bg_triggerUriVal: "https://outlook.office.com/"
uri: "https://outlook.office.com/mail/inbox/id/aaqkagm2ytq1lti3mjet

Are we able to update the match to an indexOf? (the same as foreground matches?) or add an option into setting to enable indexOf matching?

if (fg_loopUriVal !== "" && uri.length >= fg_loopUriVal.length && uri.indexOf(fg_loopUriVal) === 0) {

see #18.

also, URL matching should always be case sensitive.
