Comment:

 It turns out the plugin manager added in FF3.6 *can* in fact disable
 plugins from script. getPluginTags() will allow you to change properties
 of the objects it enumerates. When these properties are updated, the
 actual plugin statuses are changed! I did not expect this.

 Now, the downside is that we can not control specific tabs with this API,
 so it is only safe to fix this in TBB..
