You can use Add-on Manager API for this. Something along these lines:

Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/AddonManager.jsm");
AddonManager.getAddonByID("[email protected]", function(addon)
{
  if (addon.userDisabled)
    addon.userDisabled = false;
});

Here [email protected] stands for the ID of the add-on you want to enable of course.
