Disable all plugins by default?

more options

Every time I look in Firefox plugins (NOT extensions), I'm surprised to see some strange new plugin has appeared and is enabled. I would much prefer to have plugins disabled by default, and only allow those that I specifically select. Something like what happens with Extensions perhaps.

Firefox will pick up new plugins from the registry as they are added by other software, so that could explain the origin.

I can't think of a feature native to Firefox to disable new plugins by default, but perhaps an add-on offers this feature??

Yep, I know they come from the registry. I don't think that FF should just accept them because they are there, though.
