...which can be disabled with the Compatibility Reporter add-on
This is the issue. Most people don't know this. I was (1) an avid firefox user from the alpha stage and even I didn't know about the compatibility reporter with out some serious Googling, they should advertise it better
Especially since plugins are far and away firefox's strong suit over other browsers and they want to go with the new update scheme and change the version numbers so much.
(1) Sadly no longer am, due to the memory issues the Chrome team figured out how to fix. I still use it occasionally because I miss its much better user experience but until they get the multi process model done Chrome just uses resouces so much better I can't justify it
