Is there a way to permanently disable plugins?
I don't want the adobe reader plugin and this bit in my user.js used
to accomplish that:
user_pref("plugin.scan.Acrobat", "99.9");
Adobe came out with a new version of reader& after installing the new
version, about:plugins says I've got the Adobe Acrobat plugin
installed again :(
How do I tell SeaMonkey that I don't want it using the acrobat plugin
regardless?
I know about the menu bar Tools / Add-on Manager / Plugins& click
'disable' for Adobe Acrobat, but the next time I upgrade reader the
plugin is back. What I'm looking for is a way to permanently disable
the plugin .. even after installing a new version of reader.
Thanks,

This is an Adobe issue, not a SeaMonkey issue.
I can understand how a developer could see it that way.. "If you don't
want the plugin, don't put it in the plugins folder." Maybe Adobe
didn't used to add the plugins to the seamonkey plugins folder? In
any case, it'd be nice if SM honored the minimum required plugin
version I've got configured in user.js
In Adobe Reader, go to the menu bar and select [Edit> Preferences].
Under Categories on the Preferences window, select Internet. Clear all
checkboxes under "Web Browser Options".
or remember to delete the .dlls added to the seamonkey plugins
directory or remember to start SM& click on tools / addon manager /
plugins and disable the plugins again. I'd rather not have to
remember that when I update some software package I also have to
re-configure SM.
Thanks,

Uhh Fellas - Wouldn't this work:

SeaMonkey 2.x allows you to disable plugins. here is a screen shot of my
Plugins. notice the arrow pointed to the disable button when a given
plugin is selected.
The questions by the person who posted the original message are:
1. If you disable a plugin via the Add-On Manager, will it still be
disabled when you update SeaMonkey?
2. If you disable a plugin via the Add-On Manager, will it still be
disabled when you update the application that provided the plugin
(specifically, Adobe Reader)?
From the originator's responses in this thread, it appears that the
answers to both questions are "no", at least for his configuration.
On question one. Yes if your not doing any to SeaMonkey's preferences,
"If" you go through automatic Update. in that case your just replacing
code that has been updated. Preferences should not be bothered.
On the other hand if the complete application is replaced. You might
have th preferences reset. Then maybe not. The application is what's
affected not
