Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 391728

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Jim Jeffery not reading bug-mail 1/2/11]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008011604 Minefield/3.0b3pre Firefox/3.0

Disabling a plug-in via the Add-ons Manager does not provide any notification to the end user when it has been disabled.  So trying to use the plug-in results in no action from the browser.  

I see this leading to confusion/reports of plug-ins not working, when indeed they were turned off and forgotten about.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Disabled plug-ins do nothing.

Expected Results:  
Should be a warning bar, similiar to the other info bars - stating "The plugin has been been disabled by user, use Add-ons Manager to re-enable" or something.
