Sometimes plugins are disabled after an update, however I am not entirely sure what exactly caused it to disable.

Its possible to check when it is is disabled from the plugins page. With javascript, this would require a developer.

I did some search on the autoupdater for what checks actually happen: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-centra.../sdk.js#5442
