Moving over to prefs.

Comment 2

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

wait, are the disabled plugins still listed or are they just gone?

Comment 3

[Mårten Svantesson]

They are still listed. 

I also realised that right now all plug-ins are showed as enabled though some
are still really disabled from a former session. (I just loaded a PDF-file which
were not opened within a browser window.) This has not what happended before.
The behaviour might have changed with the upgrade from 0.8 to 0.9.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs,
filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
