I'd personally say the same about Flash and any other browser plugin - they should all be disabled. The amount of money traded on the black market for 0 days for all of these plugins is staggering.
That said, users of these plugins are not just going to stop using these services. They need these services to make bank payments or trade their shares. Getting hacked is a smaller worry than being unable to use those services. That just means they will swap to a different browser. The web becomes no safer, and only Firefox loses market share.
If you get hacked and someone steals from your bank account, the bank will reimburse you and the police will (try) track down the hackers. Same way as if someone broke into a bank vault and stole the money. Being unable to sell off your shares because Firefox blocked your trading app means you are forced to switch browsers.
Basically it's a pointless display. Just show a warning if a website tries to use a plugin (any plugin, including flash - there are numerous undisclosed 0-days) and move on.
