Plugins not Enabled

Question

In the Plugin Manger the list of plugins that are available are greyed out but they are enabled. See screenshot.      If i attempt to use an export or publish plugin, the enabled plugins do not show up as an option for that task.
If i enable a plugin that is disbaled, i get the following error.
No idea what the reference to the upper right section means either. 
When i click OK, i get the following error:
Anyone have any idea?

This sounds like quite a complicated setup that you try to achieve.
I don't know if there is someone around here that has the background and expertise to provide you with this information.
Note that the correct name is extensions.autoDisableScopes (see bug Bug 666437 and Bug 693698) and that this pref only has effect for extensions and not for plugins.<br />
Plugins are always found via a scan in known locations.

To initialize prefs it is best to do this via a mozilla.cfg file or via means like distribution.ini.

There is no need to include prefs like these that have an epoch time string as those will be created automatically when required (1273520281 is May 10 2010, so that is really old)
This value also makes no sense as it should be a time in seconds (the default of 43200 would be twice a day 86400/2)
*defaultPref("app.update.interval", 1273520281);
The CAPS prefs (capability.policy.*) are probably no longer supported and won't have effect, so you may want to reconsider which prefs that you really want to initialize.
