 When I run the current TBB (tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-1.0.17-dev-en-
 US.tar.gz) on Ubuntu Maverick system wide Firefox plugins are loaded into
 the TBB instance.

 Most prominently is the "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications" add on; other
 Firefox properties seem to be enabled - such as DivX, Totem as a video
 handler, and others.

 This is probably very dangerous even with Torbutton unless Mike Perry says
 otherwise.
