Disable the Plugin Check
Everytime I open firefox, a Web site "plugin check" opens. I thought that once I installed and updated all relevant updates for plugins, the site would disappear when I re-opened Firefox. However, the custom of the page "seem to disappear. I did everything I could think of to get rid of this page. After updating all the plugins I restarted my pc, checked to make sure that my homepage has not changed the change in firefox, deactivated all my plugins plugin and even tried to block the website by the HOSTS.
(I'm on firefox 3.6.17. I can't upgrade to 4.0 because some of the websites that I use cannot support 4.0).
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

How to disable the Plugin Check to open every time browser opens
Whenever I open firefox, "plugin check" opens. Even after I installed and updated all the plugins, the plugin check appears whenever firefox opens. After update all plugins that I restarted my pc, reset the browser and checked for if ensure that my homepage has not changed change plugin firefox, deactivated all my plugins and even tried to block the website by GUESTS.
I am quite able to check to see if my browser and plugins are up to date and I don't appreciate the unnecessary loss of time with this plugin-control running in every time the browser opens. Similar to the updates, this should be an OPTION check not FORCED and that there should be a way to disable it without the browser opens a blank tab extra or forcing the user to change the subject: config to work around.

How can I disable the Plugin check at startup in 17.0.2 esr?
In the trial of the last 17.0.2esr, I get the plugin at startup check. Even logged on as a Standard user without Admin rights I always get this page which is meaningless, given that Standard users do not have permissions to install the software. This is supposed to be the Enterprise of Firefox version which, in my mind, means that all of the updates and the controls are left to the discretion of an administrator and not an end user. Is this a bug in ESR? How do I remove it?
Looks like I got my answer here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin_scanning
Thank you

From one day to the next video (youtube, Vimeo, etc) stopped not working in Firefox. I checked my plugins/addons and discovered the plugin Adobe "primetime content decryption module" which I had not noticed previously had been installed. I've disabled the plugin and found that the video playback was still functional.
I realize the Primetime plugin is intended to facilitate playback of certain content (DRM), which would not otherwise play with Silverlight/Flash plugins, but unless that I turn it off it's actually prevents me from normal video content playback.
As this is a Firefox/Adobe plugin suggested I prefer it to work as expected rather than disable/remove it.

A quick update to my problem noted above (maybe I should try this first)
I ACTIVATED the plugin once more see if it would cause video playback yet, but everything seems to be ok now (IE, Primetime plugin is activated and all videos play normally)
Will report if the problem arises again

How can I avoid the plugin check page?
Whenever I open Firefox now, I get a second tab taking me to the plugin check page. I've updated all the most vulnerable, and I don't want to see the thing, whenever I open firefox! Can I disable this annoying feature?
I have uninstalled Viewpoint Media Player (and the messaging client instant AOL "AIM", since apparently that's what compelled Viewpoint Media Player on my system). Viewpoint Media Player is responsible for the plugin called "MetaStream 3 Plugin r4", and I think this plugin is the outbreak of Firefox to open the plugincheck page. It is not enough to disable the plugin, it must be uninstalled. For me, after uninstalling Viewpoint Media Player, the problem of "plugincheck always opening" then went.
However, I see that you don't have this plugin ("MetaStream") in your list of plugins. It can so that there is some other plugin of yours which is causing this tab is displayed. Go to tools-> Addons-> Plugins (tab) and look in the list for plug-ins with a red warning icon. If there is, this is probably the plugin at the origin of the problem.

The plugin check page does not work, it will never stop check.
My plugin shows Flash as outdated and blocked, despite having installed the latest flashplugin package. I went to plugincheck page to be updated, the bit that never stops check/loading (loading circular animation).
I don't have a plugin 'Java Deployment Toolkit'. I have "Java (TM) plug-in 11.45.2", I tried to never activate the value, but it does not solve anything.
ARHC Linux + KDE
Everything up to date, including Firefox, Flash and Java.
As of today, the plugin check page started working on its own!
Maybe it was a bug in the audit tool, maybe something on my system which is fixed by the updates. I'll probably never know.

The Plugin Check page lists Microsoft Office 2010 with a search button. I clicked and I was redirected to a page where I would like to download the Microsoft 2010 plugin. I thought I did it (with a bunch of unnecessary waste). I went to the Plugin Check page and Microsoft Office 2010 was still there. Why?
Mozilla only stores the details of the latest version of a small number of plugins, these being the most widely used plugins such as Flash and Adobe Acrobat. For these plugins analysis will show if you have the latest version.
For other plugins, including the Microsoft Office plugin, Mozilla does not have details of the latest version and instead it displays a search button, that when clicked will perform a Google search. It displays the search button even if you have the latest version of the plugin.

How to stop the Plugin Check page to appear?
Firefox 3.6.17, Win2K. Do not laugh at the OS, it works.
But I have the Plugin Check page every time I start Firefox. This does not help, because I have the latest versions of all my plugins that take care of Win2K. I just * not * update my plugins.

I have a bit of a problem that does not appear on another computer. I am running Windows 7 and on one of my computers in the office and it is visible in Mozilla Firefox Adobe Flash played being updated and overwhelmed at the same time. I have the latest installed flash player which is 18.0.0.194, but it is still announcing Adobe Flash Player 17.0.9.18 and says that it is obsolete. I checked my system with a few technicians as well and it is very clear that only Flash Player 18.0.0.194 is installed on my system for Internet Explorer and Firefox. We are at loss as to what is happening or why it shows this error. I don't even have Adobe Flash 17.0.9.18 installed on the system. With the computer always upward in the shop, after a week and make a ton of search in the forums, that we are all at a loss of what is happening. We tried to uninstall Firefox and reinstalling and that did not help. We also tried to uninstall Adobe Flash and reinstall a new version of it as well. None of them is the problem. Firefox reset as well didn't help either. Being that this happens only on one computer I think it's a very strange situation. Y at - there anyone out there who has an idea of what is happening and how to fix or is really something that can't be fixed? There is no virus on the system. Yes, I tried the update through the update button as well as trying to go directly to the site Adobe itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Well, I just thought about it all now, but I still want to thank you for your help. You'll love the answer too. I was literally looking at the plugin page and I saw 17.0.9.18 and I arrived just to scroll to the bottom of the page where he showed another application like 17.0.9.18. Guess what he listed as. Real Player. I uninstalled Real Player cloud of programs and it solved the problem. The problem is that stupid little icon appears as Adobe Flash up and in fact what we really know that for 17.0.9.18 is true cloud player. Boy, heaven's to betsy, if anyone out there has the problem I did I sure as hell hope it helps you too. Thanks again for your help. I use no loss anyway so no Real big Player cloud for me. XD

How to disable the spell checking when using facebook
Hello. I just started using Firefox and am really impressed. I like it.
I noticed that when you post a message on Facebook, there is a spell checker that runs and highlights words that are misspelled. I don't see this using IE9. Is it possible to disable this "spell check"?
Thank you
Hello
You can enable spell check:
- Tools > Options (Edit > Preferences in Mac and Linux)
- On the Advanced Options tab, uncheck "check my spelling as I type".
Alternatively inside any input text area, you just right-click and select "Check my spelling" - he should stop checking your spelling.

Why doesn't the plugin Check read plug-ins properly in Chrome?
When I go to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ , in Chrome, it says my plugins are out of date, but when I check the Chrome Extensions/plugins all the version numbers correspond to the latest version. This also happens in Safari, Opera, chrome, Camino and Omniweb. Is Mozilla plugin checker for Firefox only?
Yes, the Mozilla Plugin Check page is specifically for Firefox.

https://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/pluginCheck/
How can I get to stop doing this?
All my plugins are up to date.Type of topic: config in the URL bar and press ENTER.
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access this page.Pref = plugins.update.notifyUser if it shows as true, double-click this pref to toggle it false
If this pref was already set to False, try to disable the QuickTime Plugin, and then restart Firefox, to see if it is the culprit.
