Addendum

-  My above post seems to work intermittently.  Sometimes it doesn't.
Another workaround for flash is to try using the x64-flash plugin
instead.  This seems to have taken care of the problem with flash for
me.  As for Silverlight, I tried installing Devil's Pie 2:

sudo apt-get install devilspie2

Then ran it, to allow it to create ~/.config/devilspie2

I then created a file in that folder called Firefox-Fix.lua and pasted
in the following script:

if (get_application_name()=="Microsoft Silverlight") then
        unminimize();
end

I then ran devilspie2 again and it seems to work a bit more reliably.
It fails about 1/8 attempts.  Unfortunately, I don't know how to detect
if a window is still minimized or has lost focus (ie. the unminimize
attempt has failed) in Lua.  If anyone else does, feel free to rewrite
the script.

I then added devilspie2 to my autostart.  It still isn't perfect, but
better than before.
