Different icon on allow/block plugin

Unread post by Sleeping » 2014-11-07, 01:34

It would be nice to see a different icon when a plugin is blocked or allowed, maybe a red or green one, I don't know.
Just an idea it came to me now,. What's your take on this? :)

There is no need for this, because a icon is already available:

Edit: Just click on the icon and you get more infos.

Hi, thanks for your answer :)

I've never noticed it can be grey or blue, but I don't understand how it works.
I think it would be much easier to understand like this:
- green: plugin enabled for the page
- red: plugin disabled for the page
- orange: plugin disabled, but asking the user what to do.

Why? If all works, their is no need for a icon. (This is your "green")

If you use click-to-play and a plugin is blocked then you get the icon which contain more info. (This is your "red")

And if you disable a plugin, then you know that and you can simply look at about:plugins for more infos. (This is your "orange")
