Today's Gran Paradiso builds have a nifty new feature -- a plugin manager. It lives along side the extensions and themes manager and allows users to selectively disable Firefox plugins. Good job, Michael!
Cool.

I'll have to download the latest nightly, to check it out; but I can tell that, from user-support POV, this is a huge deal.

Any idea what's meant by "Mozilla default-plugin"... websites render even with it deactivated.
One note though: The enable/disable tooltip says "...when Firefox is restarted". That's wrong though, as it applies immediately (very cool, now add that for Addons/Themes/Languages as well ;))

My Firefox 2.0.0.6 already has that, albeit unintentionally. When I installed the Move plug in it added a Plug In tab on the Themes/Addons dialog

Maybe now people will stop calling extensions plugins. Or are they add-ons? Or Add-ons? :)

Could this make installing and switching on/off the Adobe SVG Viewer easier?
Now you need the following 2: not rocket science, but just too much hassle

And at the same time of course Firefox native SVG needs some extra resources directed to it to speed up implementing the specification.

Sounds like a great new feature. So is there any reason to still use "about:plugins"?
