In my opinion, it should not enable plugins on other sites.
Most of the time, those are Flash adverts, I think.

I agree totally with your other remarks and suggestions.

I don't think it would be very hard to create a click-to-play UI that
would cater for advanced users that want to enable/disable different
kinds of plugins on a site-by-site basis and the basic user that just
expect things to work without having to think.
