Details

When switching between the x86 and x64 builds of Firefox, the Add-ons manager resets the enabled/disabled status of the binary components (mostly plugins, but this can also happen with some externally installed add-ons). This is a problem since they all default to enabled (in the case of add-ons it's worse now since the permission confirmation page pops up). My guess is that when Firefox can't see a plugin anymore it immediately forgets about it. It shouldn't. So if I disable a plugin, then it goes away, then it comes back, it should stay disabled.
