The reason for this is that in the old versions of TBB with FF3.6 on linux, I binary patched libxul.so in a filthy way so that it would not pick up system plugins; on Windows it was possible to comment out a section of nsExtensionsManager.js that scanned the Windows registry. On OSX I never figured out how to stop it. However, as of Firefox 4, there is a pref called extensions.enabledScopes which allows you to define the scope of plugins and limit them to things like "just this profile", "just this app", "just this user", etc. In the current TBBs it is limited by profile (the most limited and mandatory scope) but it seems to behave somewhat unpredictably. It used to be that it did not even show all of the plugins, now it shows them but you have to enable them. I should look into this to make sure there isn't another pref interfering.
