After running the automatic update extensions that I had previously disabled
where re-enabled without notice.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable an extension A
2. Let TB update A automatically
3. Without noticing the user A is enabled after the update

Actual Results:  
A was enabled

Expected Results:  
Extensions should remain in the state they where prior to the update.

Another acceptable solution would be to only check enabled extensions for
updates. However, this is not an ideal solution because you might disable
extensions if they are, for example, unstable. In these cases you probably want
to be notified when an update is available.
