How do I disable the "some plugins are out of date" message

I am running firefox 3.6.3 on a powerpc mac laptop. There are no more upgrades to either firefox or any of the plugins it is using. It's a powerpc and the current updates of the plugins all require an intel based mac. I constantly get the message "some plugins used by this page are out of date" message above the screen, or Firefox disables plugins because it says they are a security risk. I don't care. This is an old computer that would work fine if Firefox would just stop trying to upgrade either itself or its plugins, or try to warn me about something that can't be upgraded and that I don't care about. MAC rule number one: The user is in charge. How do I fix this annoying and PC like feature?
In the future if Firefox is going to continue to have this "feature" it should keep track of what kind of computer it is running on and what what updates can and can not run on the computer it is running on, or give the user the option of turning off not only the messages but the whole plugin update function.

What is meant in to open the "Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" window (the about:addons page doesn't exist in Firefox 3.6.x)
You can inspect and modify some prefs on the about:config page to suppress the plugin reminder.

How do I get rid of the annoying yellow banner saying "some plugins are out of date on this page."

Since 5/22/12 I have an annoying yellow banner in Firefox (and other web pages) stating that "some plugins are out of date on this page.") How do I get rid of this? I've checked my plugins and I'm fine for my Mac OS (10.4.1).

Sounds similar to this thread from yesterday: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/927963 How do I stop getting the prompt to update plugins? | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help]. Do any of the suggestions there help?

How do I disable the "additional plugins are required..." error message? I removed Quicktime because of an incredible annoying security beep and I don't want the plugin or a constant reminder.

I want to right click on the error message and choose "do not show again."
This also occurs in 4.0 beta 7.
I attempted to use the "Error Console" addon to block it but was not able to identify the message.

How do I disable the facebook plugins?

How do I uninstall the facebook plugins? I'm currently having problem loading pages because my office server blocks everything that it was not blocking before. The 'safe site' that I'm browsing indirectly prompting to facebook plugins which causing the server to block the website. I didn't install any facebook add ons or plugins as well.

How do I disable the java plugin?

I have already done
-tools->Internet options->Advanced
- unchecked 'use java2 1.4.2_04 for < applet> (requires restart)'
- checked Microsoft VM java console enabled (requires restart)
- reinstalled the MS JVM (MSJavWU_8073687b82d41db93f4c2a04af2b34d)
- set my class ID to
<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"> which is supposed to be for MS
Every time I run the applet, the java plugin console appears with 1.4.2_04 version running.
what else can I do?

I created my applet using 1.4 and I want to be sure that it works for people without the plugin. Applet tags alone cause a gray box, while Object tags work but seem to invoke the plugin.
Also is there a way to check the highest JVM/ plugin version needed for my applet? I don't want to have to manually thumb through javadocs for each object in each file to check when it first appeared. I also don't want to have to download each environment and try to compile the applet.
Thanks.

How do I stop the fake "Adobe Reader out of date" hijack

In IE I will get a fake "Adobe Reader out of date" screen from newupdate24.com. The screen looks official. I clicked on the update message and got loaded up with virus and malware.
The IE phishing filter is enabled and has no effect.

This is some kind of malware or phishing. I just had a "update to Adobe Reader professional" in Chrome.
I'm sure you're probably correct about that but, it's not a Reader or Adobe issue. You'll want to start searching around for a forum or support site that has folks that deal with this sort of thing. Good luck.

How do I know if my maps are out of date?

I plug my phone in and open maploader and it says i have maps version 0.1.23.112 (I have western europe installed)
how do I know when the maps need updating, is there a list of the latest maps anywhere?

Companies like Teleatlas and Navteq buy in map data from the various national organisations in order to make their digital mapping. Companies producing sat-nav equipment (including Nokia) buy in that digital data for their products.
Nokia is in the process of taking over Navteq, but the company is still run independently, so no - Nokia customer care staff cannot tell you when updated map data will be available because they get new information from Navteq when it becomes available and incorporate it into their products as soon as possible afterwards.

How do I get the system to print-out a date at the bottom of page?

When I am at a website and ask for a print-out of the page -
the current date and time of print-out no longer appears at the lower right corner of page.

I have resolved the problem. I will not use your time attempting to explain the process of elimination. However, the end result---
I had taken delivery of a new printer mid-January - it is a HP OfficeJet 6000 (E609) - I wondered if that might be the problem - since I could not ascertain exactly when the print-out problem had presented itself.
O.K. I logged on to the system and brought up the "Google" page to ask for a print-out. I checked for a print - and when the print box appeared I checked on "properties". That showed - to the left: "General Everyday Printing" and over to the right: Page size "A4 210 x 297mm" also the option "letter 8.5" x 11" and Legal 8.5" x 14" - so, I changed it to ask for the "letter - 8.5" x 11" - then I checked to "print" - I believe it was the "OK" - and the "Google: page was printed intact - showing the data generally associated with the top of the page and the date/time at the lower right.
I placed a telephone call the HP this morning to ask them about the "A4" option and was advised that it is a "standard size paper" - but could not explain under set of circumstances it would be applicable.
Hopefully, this data will be helpful to someone - thank you very much for your assistance in this matter.

Firefox 34.05 says plugin is out-of-date, insecure, and thus disabled. But...my version is higher than the blocked version

Upon updating to Firefox 34.05, I've been faced with the fact that this version of Firefox (erroneously) thinks some of my plugins are out of date, and has disabled them, for my safety.
For instance, it tells me that "Adobe Acrobat Reader is known to be vulnerable and must be updated". Upon clicking the link to update it, it informs me that "Adobe Reader 9.5.1 and lower has been blocked for your protection.". Okay, cool right? An update should solve that.
Problem is, I don't *have* a version of AR that is 9.5.1 or lower. My version is, according to Firefox itself, version 10.1.4.38. So why is it blocked? Updating the version, as advised in other threads on similar issues, does not seem to work. In fact, the Mozilla plugincheck tells me that my version is up-to-date and is fine.
It is very inconvenient to have to open an entirely different browser, like Opera, just to do certain things that I could previously do with Firefox.
I'd also like to voice my overall disapproval on the way many features of Firefox (enabling disabling Javascript, images, certain stylistic features, the add-on bar) have been done away with and users are being told "you can install an add-on to add that functionality back on". It has always been my understanding that the less add-ons installed the better, given that they are apparently the number one problem when it comes to Firefox having issues. Having to disable 5 new add-ons anytime I want to troubleshoot a problem is not convenient, and makes locating the source of various problems more difficult.
I have no idea why Mozilla is so committed to making changes that users hate, and act as if having third-party add-ons to restore functionality is any kind of solution.

''James [[#answer-672408|said]]''
<blockquote>
Firefox 34.0.5 is not doing the blocking as it is due to the blocklist. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/
Adobe Reader '''10.0 to 10.1.5.*''' has been blocked for your protection.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/p158 (Blocked on October 5, 2012)
You were looking at another blocklist page which was https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/p156 posted on same day.
The https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ is not always accurate or reliable (needs to be manually updated) as Adobe has not been keeping the Adobe products versions to check for updated on that page as the recent Flash updates on December 9 has shown.
It is however accurate when it says versions in Plugins panel of Addons Manager is outdated.
There is Adobe Reader 11.0.10 though it seems like Adobe still provides 10.1.4 at http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ yet newer versions are at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows
</blockquote>
James, why does the Firefox addon page link to the 9.5 "blocked for your protection" page instead of the 10.5 blocked page? Is that a mistake/failure to update on Adobe's part? That seems like something that should be controlled on the Mozilla side, since it has the 10.5 blocked page in existence as well. Should someone be notified that it's giving the wrong page to people?
The adobe update you linked to made it stop saying it's out of date, but what about the Java Development Toolkit? (As pictured in attached image #3). How should I go about getting that up to date?

Plugin check (incorrectly) says my acrobat plugin is out of date and takes me to a reader install

Windows XP
FF 20.0
I have Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.6. and the plugin checker says its out of date.
I don't think it is, it's just not Abobe Reader.
I don't want to have both Acrobat and Reader. When I do, then there's two different plug-ins in FF, but they both have the same names, but they seem independent and it just seems messy. It looks as if the same plugin is on there twice, one updated and one not updated, but it doesn't seem possible to remove either one. Which is actually good, b/c one is for Acrobat and one is for Reader, which I didn't realize until I started looking into all this mess. Also, there's no point in me having Reader if I have Acrobat.
It's weird that the plugin checker says the Acrobat plugin is out of date and directs me to the Reader 11 download to update it, eventhough I already have Reader 11 (thanks to the plugin checker). In other words, the one that is updated is Reader, but the one that is supposedly out of date just directs me to a DL that I already have installed. Sorry if its confusing.
Now I downloaded it, and have since uninstalled it, but it seems well-known that there can be issues with dl'ing Reader when Acrobat is already uninstalled (or something), as well as when uninstalling one or the other, so now I am nervous, because I didn't take any precautionary measures when dl'ing or uninstalling Reader.
I almost feel like I should uninstall everything (if possible) and just start fresh.
Anyway, point is, the plugin checker is wrong, right?

Hi jonadelman, if you have 10.1.6, you are current. It's just that the plugin checker doesn't know that both 10.1.6 and 11.0.2 are current.

How do I disable the new feature that disables outdated plugins unless they are clicked?

I'm running Adobe Acrobat 8. I'm happy with it. Firefox has a new feature that automatically disables the PDF plugin unless it's clicked. It's called the "Click to Play" feature. Even when disabled, it's not really disabled: it activates itself for "vulnerable plugins." Though there is an option to make a website trusted for plugins, there is seemingly no way to make the PLUGIN ITSELF trusted. As a result, every time I get a PDF, I have to Click to Play.
Question: How do I truly disable this stupid new feature?
There is the following support article that explains this new system, and that the only solution is trust a website, but apparently can't disable the feature or trust the plugin:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/why-do-i-have-click-activate-plugins?esab=a&s=disable+click+to+play&r=13&as=s

In about:config, set extensions.blocklist.enabled to false

How do I disable the plugin check at Firefox Version 18 or higher startup?

This thread carries on from a discussion about How do I disable the plugin check at Firefox startup? As clearly Tylerdowner did not like my previous message and so would like me to obviously start a whole new thread to find out what’s going on.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/938821
Tyler: I am still looking for support and so are the other 83 people who have this problem. Hence why I am here, not to have to start another thread, not to have a go at you or just to run around further to get a clear, straight forward answer. I am now back to running Version 12 (which, has not solved the problem), with up-to-date plugins which are all supported.
Don’t fob us off, PLEASE HELP. Unless I am very much mistaken, this is the place we are meant to find help, right? Not to be completely blown off because somebody says something you don’t like. Perhaps someone better suited to this will help. I’ll follow on from then with MY problem from Tyler’s final comment as it is highly relevant:
Tylerdowner: Rumor Control, if you are running Firefox 18 with up to date plugins, then you are having a different problem than this thread is about. This is for Firefox 3.6 users who have old plugins, not those with updated software.

I should also add this info for all to see clear as part of my question (can be seen in More system details too):
I liked that version, was the first ever FireFox browser I tried and because of it made it my number 1 browser. There have been a heck of a lot from 3.6 to 18 though I think we’d all agree. Progress can and often is messy, but worth it.
Which is fine except mine, a different version, up-to-date plugins – and I’ve still same problem as these guys. It’s exactly the same even for me who has updated: How do we get rid of the Plugin Check Screen every time we start FireFox? I know I am up-to-date – as it tells me every single time!
I agree everyone should be up-to-date with the software and this may very well be the case that solves a lot of people with lower versions – yet I can say I updated from version 12 to the latest 18, spent the time getting half a dozen different updates as it wanted (all of which are supported according to the link you provided) plugins and yet I am still having the same problem as users with 3.6 and older plugins! Went back to version 12.0 and I am getting the problem since installing version 18.
Therefore from the fact I’m still getting the popup every time telling me everything is updated and safe, which is lovely to know, still doesn’t change the fact it won’t go away! Not a major problem but it is getting tedious now every single time.
Like I say I am willing to wait and see if this gets fixed anyway which to be fair, FireFox seem to do a lot better than the competition. If it doesn’t though I’d still rather go back to an older version just to be rid of it! But not even that is now working to be gone of it! It’s gotten that ridiculous for me now too!

How can I disable the annoying orange outline while I tap a link or a input area?

i'm a user of Firefox for android. i've found a problem since I update to 16.0.2 and above. every time i tap a link or a input text in the web page, there always shows an annoying orange rectangle outline around the focused link or input area. Moreover, this outline would keep showing while I drag the page and start browsing other parts of the same page. how can I disable the annoying feature?

This is the default feature of the browser to indicate which element are you on, if you are actually on focus with the input or tapping on the right link.
Since this is a default feature of the browser, it now depends on the website's developer to override this feature with custom focus styles. Normally, in a browser, you can override this with user styles/scripts but as far as I know, Firefox Android does not support such features.
However, I found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929362 an article] that states that there is a [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ plugin] that is compatible with Firefox Android that handles user styles.
