Some otherwise useful plugins might steal critical or confidential data. I would like to have a preference setting where I can disable all or selected to activate only one or more plugin.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Preference
2. Disbale all plugins for citibank.co.in and www.etrade.com
3. When i goto these sites. All the plugins are disabled.

Alternatively
1> goto preference
2> enable only flash for for citibank.co.in and www.etrade.com
3> goto these sites and only flash plugin works



I saw a couple of plugins that i did not install from mozilla which were pretty useful. But i realised that they were storing the information from the sites i visit and probably even transmitting them to a server. 

In order to avoid compromising the security of my confidential or critical data i would like to see this feature.
