This might be a duplicate of or related to e10s click-to-play bug 899347.
Depends on: 899347
Just FYI, if you change the plugin from ask to activate to always activate (or vice verse), the plugin works (or doesn't) on the fly. You just need to refresh the page. No need to restart/close firefox/nightly.
Yeah, this should be fixed once bug 899347 closes.
