If you use a central Mozilla autoconfig file setup - see, for example:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Enterprise_deployment#Configuration
then you can use the following line to disable this plug-in:
lockPref("plugin.state.librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin", 0);
(and similar lines to disable any other plug-in)

With all the talk about deleting a packaged file or rebuilding a base package, I'm surprised no one has noticed this solution. The above is most likely the best solution. Easy to deploy through CM, won't be overwritten with package updates, and is the best for "Enterprise" customers (who deploy to hundreds or thousands of computers).
I'm already using something similar to change the default home page.
Thank you, that looks like what I originally was seeking - a way to blacklist the plugin.
It's still a bit puzzling that there isn't a checkbox next to plugins in the Preferences pane.
I gather FireFox is planning to get rid of plugin support altogether so soon it may not be an issue.
