Public bug reported:
Disabling a plugin should be benign. However, in the case of the web
accounts plugin, disabling this without also disabling the extensions
breaks Firefox quite badly (see the "missing plugin" frame in the
screenshot, which is impossible to dismiss).
There are several reasons why the plugin could be disabled. Perhaps
there is a problem with the plugin cache, or the user just disabled it
in the Plugins tab of Tools -> Addons without realizing what they were
doing. In any case, a plugin being disabled shouldn't make the browser
unusable
