As I don't know your update history, but say you have updated from a
firefox 33 to 43, then some of the plugins has been hold back on legacy
branches, when 43 tries to update them it will keep on looking in the
legacy branch and find no version which supports 43 and decides to
disable the plugin till a day when it finds one or you manually update.

Uninstall the plugin and then install the latest version of it, should
work in most cases, some plugins may not have support for FF43 like
CanvasBlocker, it can be installed anyway, but not sure how well it works.
