1) Turn on "click to play" plugins ("plugins.click_to_play" = true in about:config)
2) Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_iQRO5BdCM (or other page with plugins)
3) Click the puzzle piece to open plugins menu
4) Select the drop-down menu for more options
5) Select "Always active plugins for this site"

Expected: The preference is set to always active plugins and the plugins are activated at this point (similar to how selecting the first option, "Activate all plugins" will active plugins without refreshing the page
Actual: The preference is set but the plugins are not activated until they are clicked or the page is reloaded.

Scratch that, you cannot even click to activate the plugins - they don't take any action; you need to refresh the page to get them to work. This may need to be filed as an independent bug.
Summary: Selecting "Always active plugins for this site" does not active plugins until click or page load → Selecting "Always active plugins for this site" does not active plugins until page refresh
Thanks for the report. This behavior is caused by bug 796039.
