Hi Erinn,

Thankfully no, it seems a patch is unnecessary because
user_pref("extensions.enabledScopes", 1); is working to prevent loading of
all system wide plugins, at least on my system :>.
The odd thing is user_pref("extensions.enabledScopes", 1); nor
user_pref("extensions.enabledScopes", 5); work to prevent loading of
system wide plugins for installed FF 4.0 and portable FF 4.0 (from
portable apps). I don't have time right now to look through relevant TBB
2.2.24-1 alpha and/or TorButton alpha settings to find what else is
configured to prevent loading system wide plugins; maybe later today I
will have time unless you or Mike can shed some light on this subject?
Also, from a quick test it seems setting "extensions.enabledScopes" to '0'
prevents loading of all system wide plugins in TBB 2.2.24-1 alpha, but to
my understanding that should not be the case ... odd.
Note: This current testing with '1' was done under a guest account,
previous testing with '5' '-1' and '100' was done under both admin and
guest accounts. I will test '1' under admin account later today, however,
the same result should be found with TBB regardless of user account rules
(re admin vs guest).
