Firefox should at least ask users before enabling closed-source plugins, and give a simple way to enable/disable them like any other plugin.

Or even better: distribute a clean browser and let users install things like Flash and EME as plugins.

They do - if you don't like it, don't install it. Or even fork it. The default distribution is trying to provide the best experience for the majority of users and Flash is unfortunately necessary for that.
