That and don't you think it's better if we just say this for TorBirdy
(from https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en):
`The Tor Browser will block browser plugins such as Flash, RealPlayer,
Quicktime, and others: they can be manipulated into revealing your IP
address. Similarly, we do not recommend installing additional addons or
plugins into the Tor Browser, as these may bypass Tor or otherwise harm
your anonymity and privacy`
Disabling plugins is a good idea, but it's not feasible to disable all of
them, so just let's just warn the user, right?
