Bug 22706 introduces a hook for plugins which would allow plugin authors to
nefariously steal user credentials.

We should implement a whitelist/blacklist approach for plugin hooks such that
the end-user is warned about such possible issue upon plugin installation.

Perhaps we should even implement something akin to access permissions as found
on the android app store where you can grant specific rights to a plugin upon
it first asking for said capability.
