267942 - add UI or (hidden?) pref to disable plug-in bar but not finder service

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 261655

(Firefox :: Settings UI, enhancement)

Description

[Will Rickards]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/1.0RC2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/1.0RC2

When I load a page the page loads and then the plug-in bar appears at the top.
I would like a pref or UI so that the plug-in bar does not appear at all.
But I still want to be able to click the item in the page requiring the plug-in
and use the plug-in finder service.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Site
2. Watch page load and plug-in bar appear
3. Right-Click on plug-in bar

Actual Results:  
No option to hide the bar permanently appeared.  In fact no options are there.

Expected Results:  
Given me some UI to hide the bar permanently.
At the very least give me a hidden pref in about:config to permanently hide the bar.

I have the pref plugin.default_plugin_disabled set to true.
I tried setting it to false but it also disabled the plug-in finder service when
I click the items.  I still want to use the plug-in finder service, just not the
plug-in bar.

Wrong Product/Component. Please change it to Firefox/Preferences. And don't
forget to check "Reassign bug to owner and QA contact of selected component".

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