From time to time folks are asking to test out a site to see if it works in

As an example, someone asked to test out a site, and as it so happened I had a
distro running with no flash-plugin, or Suns JRE installed. The site had 2
windows with plugin problems. One wanted flash, the other JRE.

Perhaps I might be asking a bit much, but is there some way to temporarily
disable all the Firefox/Mozilla plugins, so as to check out which plugins a
particular site requires?

A bit of an academic question, but it would be nice if it was possible.

There seems to be no quick and easy (and easily reversible) way to
disable plugins.
