Another possibility, and one I've used for a while now because a blow it all 
away install of the next new version doesn't wipe it out, is to put your 
plugins directory tree out of the browsers own install tree, then symlink it 
to the real directory.  To disable all plugins is then a matter of going to 
that browsers tree and blowing away the plugins symlink.  Its easily 
restored.
