Description
Background
As Chrome cannot distinguish between requests loading files handled by a plugin like Flash (i.e. object) and subsequent requests caused by such a file (i.e. object_subrequest) these types are mapped to each other. However, apparently, despite being undocumented, these requests are reported with different types to Firefox WebExtensions.
What to change
Check chrome.webRequest.ResourceType, and don't alias the OBJECT and OBJECT_SUBREQUEST types in RegExpFilter.typeMap, if object_subrequest is supported.

More detailed resource types landed in Firefox 54, so the current stable isn't supporting OBJECT_SUBREQUEST yet.

Implemented. This hasn't broken anything as far as I can tell so will mark verified. I need to check this properly once #5316 is implemented.

@trev:
On Friday I was looking into the ResourceType property of the browser.webRequest object. However I was unable to find the object_subrequest key value there. Although I thought I remembered seeing it previously, this was done in the debug console in firefox for the extension. Is it possible I am doing something wrong here?
