How do you hide installed plugins in Firefox?

This website shows that too much about you can be seen: http://centralops.net/asp/co/BrowserMirror.vbs.asp

Most plugins don't need to be seen by content providers.

Best Answer

Go to about:config and type plugins.enumerable_names in the search box.

Set it to blank and that will hide all plugins from a bulk plugin query. Individual plugins can still be queried by name, but this will help reduce your fingerprint a lot.

This works on Firefox 29+.
