Setting Opera to ignore single plug-ins in its plug-in paths

Opera can be made to ignore single plug-ins in its plug-in paths. This can be useful for debugging, or for disabling plug-ins that lead to problems without disabling plug-ins altogether.

To view the plug-ins Opera accesses, run the following command:

opera -debugplugin

To ignore a plug-in, create a filed called "plugin-ignore.ini" in /usr/share/opera or an alternative location determined by opera:config#Network|PluginIgnoreFile. The contents of the file must include the header "[Plugins to Ignore]" and take the following form: 

[Plugins to Ignore]
badplugin.so = Bad plugin

where badplugin.so is the file name of a plug-in we want Opera to ignore, and a description of the plug-in is to the right of the equal sign. Add additional plug-ins on separate lines.
