[Bug 220147] [NEW] firefox-2 plugins unable to be re-enabled

[Dennis Ta]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-2

Firefox 2 plugins are disabled after upgrading to hardy RC from latest
gutsy. When I try to re-enable them, certain plugins cannot be re-
enabled. The button is not greyed out, it simply does not respond to
clicks.

The same is true after an aptitude reinstall.
(I didn't try purging and reinstalling firefox-2)

Some plugins can be re-enabled, I really can't tell if there is a
pattern (i seem to be able to use all the plugins that i don't *need*)

It is important that users are able to fallback to firefox-2 since
otherwise, firefox 3 is forced and compromises usability.
