Yes, this is a dupe of bug 94035, but that bug is almost a year old and the
discussion around it has not converged. Bug 94035 is centering on a fully
configurable content filter by site.

I would like to see a simple menu option within preferences that toggles all
plug-ins (esp. Flash) on and off. This would be the same as Opera's "Quick
Preferences -> Enable Plugins" checked menu option.

When browsing I generally do not want to see Flash or any other plug-ins. If I
get to a site that has Flash and I decide I want to see it, then I would like to
 quickly turn it on, then turn it back off when done browsing the site.

Reproducible: Always

I'm marking this a dupe of bug 94035 since I don't think anyone is interested in
implementing this separately in Phoenix.

Mass verifying of old bugs.
