---------------------------+---------------------
 I am using Tor Messenger 0.0.6 on OS X 10.10.3.

 I opened the Tor Messenger Add-Ons Manager / Plugins from Tor Messenger ->
 Preferences -> General -> Manage Add Ons -> Plugins, and saw that all my
 existing Firefox plugins were listed, and set to "Always Activate".

 I'd like to see plugins such as Flash, Java, and Unity Player be
 permanently disabled, deactivated by default, or set to "Ask to Activate".

 I'd do this out of an excess of paranoia, even if there is no way for the
 plugins to be loaded within Tor Messenger.
