Nikhil Marathe 839a3bc3fb Bug 1183954 - Fix Notification.data structured cloning on workers. r=robertbindar,mccr8
Rather than store a non-thread-safe refcounted nsIStructuredCloneContainer, store the base64 representation.
Caches a jsval the first time an attempt to access data is made from content script.
