5512	Disable Mozilla Persona plugin	ayleph		"Mozilla Persona has been decommissioned. We should disable or remove the built-in Persona plugin. I like the idea of disabling it but leaving it there, so we have more examples of plugins. But I'd also be okay with just removing it altogether.

Here's something I had in mind for disabling the plugin.
