246730 - There should be a plugin manager that allows the user to disable/allow specific/all plugins as with the image/cookie/pop-up managers

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 94035

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, enhancement)

Description

[example]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

Just a suggestion...

It would be nice if the method used to disable images, pop-ups and cookies could
be extended to include a plugin-manager. This would allow blocking of particular
plugins for sites where they are:

 - annoying
 - a security risk
 - spying (ie java/javascript spyware applets)

An option for blocking plugins could be to leave a panel (similar to when the
plugin is not installed) asking the user if they wish to load the plugin.

Anyway, great job so far on Mozilla. I'll keep on browbeating everyone I know on
how good it is!

See also bug 207807 for javascript blocking.
Plugin-manager is meant to be something else, see bug 19118 for this.
