Can't check if plugins are up to date

since Friday 5-4-2012 around 6pm est,(on 3 separate computers) i have been getting "sorry we couldn't find the page or file you were looking for" when i click on the link "check to see if your plugins are up to date" through the add-ons page. it's the first time i have ever encountered this problem.....can any one help me with this? i have tried, restarting Firefox, restarting the computers, shutting off the firewall, uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling and so far none of these have worked. it is now Sunday 5-6-2012 around 10:30 am est and i have been clicking that link several times each day to see if anything new happens or gets fixed and so far it has not.....I'm still seeing the same page. i would appreciate it if someone could help me solve this very quickly.....thanks for any help.

plugins.update.url has always been set to "http'''s'''://www.mozilla.'''com'''/%LOCALE%/plugincheck/" so far - https://mozilla.com seems to be generally broken at the moment (again, bug 752232) & the problem of plugin check showing a 404 from inside firefox is just a byproduct of that

  • Firefox 6 on Windows XP SP3 does not close properly after checking if plugins are up to date.

    After doing Tools > Add-ons > Plugins > Check if plugins are up to date, Firefox process will not exit after closing Firefox.
    I can close the window, but Firefox process does not exit. New window does open if I click Firefox icon to launch it. After reboot Firefox complains that some tabs could not be opened, as if it had crashed because of reboot.

    i deleted the rdf and now the first window only (and any tabs in it) are maximised. i found this in the rdf
    <RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#main-window"
    screenX="4"
    screenY="4"
    width="1008"
    height="461"
    sizemode="Normal" />
    i tried changing normal to maximised; no effect. either i need also to change the numbers (to match a maximised window) or ff ignores this. i want to be able to open different sites in different windows, and not have to maximise them manually. ff never used to be broken, why break this? what possible security flaw was fixed by screwing up ff to never open maximised unless u hack it or delete certain config files?

  • When i try to check my plugins are up to date I am linked immediately to a download java page and can't access the list of plugins

    When I am in ad-ons manager and I click "check to see if my plugins are up-to-date" I am linked to the list of plugins them immediately sent to a download java page. I have uninstalled java because of the ongoing security issues

    Try this page:

  • Find the page to check if plugins are up to date.

    I have been on a webpage that shows which plugins need to be updated but I can't find it now. Can someone tell me where it is?

  • I have Firefox 18.0.1 and when I click "Check to see if plugins are up to date", I get an uresponsive script warning.

    When I click the link "Check to see if plugins are up to date" at the top of the Add-ons Manager page, it opens a new page like normal. The new page displays everything but the plugins and their status. The page just sits waiting for the status results to populate. If I try to click anything at this point, the page freezes and I see a message at the top of the window that Firefox has become unresponsive. If don't click and wait about 60 seconds, I get a "Warning - Unresponsive Script" message. I also see the following information with this warning:
    Script: https//www.mozilla.org/js/plugincheck.js:14
    This first happened yesterday, after accidentally removing Java from my PC - I think it was Java 6. When I tried to access Java downloads to re-install, I got the same unresponsive script message. So, I had to access Java downloads with IE instead of Firefox, and I re-installed Java (version 11, update 11). Has Java caused my problem? Should I attempt to find Java 6 and install it?

    hello eric, does it help when you reset firefox (this will keep your saved bookmarks & passwords)?

  • Link to "Check to see if your plugins are up to date" is broken

    If i go to Tools > Addons and click on the "Check to see if your plugins are up to date" link, it gives me an error
    "Plugin Finding Service Error
    We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later."
    The link is sending me to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    If i manually navigate to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ it works fine.
    Therefore the link to the secure protocol has broken
    thanks. ..

  • Why is Metastream plug-in listed when I do a Plug-in Check on what plugins are up to date, I thought it was blocked?

    MetaStream 3 Plugin is listed as a Plugin, Status Unknown when I click on "Check on what plugins are up to date" of the Add-ons Manager. (I think this has just recently started happening.) The three other plugins listed are active and none of the other supposed inactive or blocked ones are listed.
    The Add-ons Manager does indicate Metastream has been disabled due to security issues.
    Is this normal or of concern?

    Regardless of if a plugin is disabled or enabled, it will still display on the plugin check.<br>
    This is to ensure that if the plugin is enabled the user is running the most current and secure version of that plugin.

  • 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?

  • When I click Tools and then plugins and check whether my plugins are up to date or not, Firefox gives me a notice saying my Flash Player is an outdated version and must be replaced.

    I am trying to do something that requires Flash Player, but even though it shows in my control panel, and it is the latest version, I keep seeing a notice that it is disabled, and it does not appear in the list of plugins, so I don't know how to enable it.
    I have been installing the same version over and over again since yesterday, but when I go to check the plugin, a box appears saying it is disabled. When I go in Tools to the list oif plugins, it is not there! Very frustrating. edit

    In Add-ons > Plugins, you must enable "Shockwave Flash (version)"; that is Adobe Flash. Click the "Enable" button next to it. The most current version is 10.3.183.10, which was released just a few days ago.
    '''''"Installed Plug-ins''''' <br />
    '''''Many but they are all disabled."'''''
    Did you disable all of your plugins? Why?
    You need to re-enable your plug-ins in Add-ons > Plugins, then check them to see if they are current and update as necessary.
    You may need to update some plug-ins. Check your plug-ins and update as necessary:

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
    #'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.

    You have multiple old Java Console '''''extensions''''' that Java did not clean-up during updates. You need Java Console only if you do Java programming/development or debug Java applets on web pages. You can see them in Add-ons > Extensions, '''''but you can not remove them from there'''''. Removing them will not affect the functioning of Java on websites. You can '''''manually''''' remove them, '''''if you do not do Java development work''''' to avoid future, possible problems/conflicts:

  • Good evening, How can I check if there are downloaling programs running in the background while using an IPod. I want to eliminate them because my internet dowload volume has increased dramatically.

    How can I check if I have a software(s) installed on my Ipod touch (4th generation) that download information all the time in the background? My internet downlaod consumption has increased dramatically lately and I cannot solve the problem. An online support person from my internet provider suggested to check that out.
    Thanks for your¸help.

    HI northangel,
    you can press the home button double times and the bottom of the screen and it will show apps that are running in the backround.

  • HT4890 Where can I check which devices are receiving iCloud information (photos, notes, etc.)?

    I conceive iCloud as a virtual HD from which my devices can access data and, more, which will share same info. between all registered devices. I use MacBook Pro, Iphone 4s and iPad and they are not the same. What do I do? Where can I check wich devices, and what applications are supposed to be shared? Thank you in advance.

    Be sure you devices are sign into the same iCloud account, then turn the data you would like to sync with iCloud to On.  These settings on your iPhone and iPad are in Settings>iCloud.  On your Mac, they are in System Preferences>iCloud.  This guide explains how to set this up: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.
    Also, if all your devices are signed into the same iCloud account, any data they sync with the account (such as contacts and calendars) will be merged with the data from other devices using the account and the merged data will appear on all connected devices.

  • Every time I start up Firefox, it checks for plugin updates. All my plugins are up to date, but it continues to load the plugin site. How do I make it stop?

    Starting on Fri. 6/10/11, every time I start up Firefox 3.6.17, it loads the plugin update site. Initially, it said my Adobe reader plugin was out of date. Therefore I updated that plugin, yet that did not fix the problem. So I was finally forced to disable the plugin. After doing this, the plugin updates check still runs every time I start FF. However, they all come back up to date.
    So my question is how do you make this plugin update check stop running. I had made no changes to firefox prior to this.

    There's a fault with the blocklist.xml file which was updated on Friday, it should be fixed on Monday and you should get the updated file on Monday or Tuesday.

  • 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.

    Quote: ''I'm not sure what you mean Address bar > Plugins ''
    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.
    *set the plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin pref to true
    *set the plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin pref to true
