How do I disable Plugin Check?

How do I disable this new "feature?"
* It opens up a new tab on startup that I don't want.
* The check doesn't even work half the time.
* Most of the plugins it finds are "unknown" (despite the fact that I know where every one of them came from!)
* It doesn't register that I've already updated all the plugins that it can find
* And in case anybody from this plugin check project is reading this, please, ''please'' add in a way to stop this check from running on startup. I know you want to help, but you're just annoying the userbase.

I had no luck with other alleged solutions, and one I tried caused Adobe Flash Player to screw up (as others have reported elsewhere). Here’s what I did to help alleviate (not solve) the Plugin Check problem:
1. Type “about:config” (without quotes) in your web address box and hit return. This should take you to a (not-so-secret) Firefox configuration page that lists the many Firefox settings.
2. If you first get a warning message, click the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button. Do be careful not to mess up any settings unintentionally. (The worst scenario might be that you have to re-install Firefox—do you have your preferred Firefox version [e.g., 3.6] setup file saved somewhere? You may want to download it first, to be safe.)
3. Once on the about:config page, in the “Filter” box at the top type “plugins.update” (again, no quotes). This should reduce the visible list down to only two (or so) settings. (Don’t worry--doing this does not change or remove anything, just makes the list you see more manageable. The full list will still be there if you remove the filter.)
4. Double-click on the “plugins.update.url” setting line to change the address “https://www.mozilla.com/%LOCALE%/plugincheck/” to anything else you want, for example “http://www.google.com”, or “http://my.ebay.com”, or your homepage address. Then exit Firefox (there is no "save" action needed).
Now when you start Firefox again you will have two tabs, one with your homepage and one with that other address in place of the Plugin Check page. This doesn’t solve the problem, but at least you do not have to look at the annoying Plugins Check page. (You can always put the original address back in the about:config page if you do want to see the Plugin Check page.) If you make the address your homepage, you’ll have two homepage tabs and can ignore or delete the second one.
Let’s hope a real solution (for FF 3.6 users) is found soon. I suspect that Mozilla wants everyone to switch to Firefox 4, which may be the real answer. Annoying.

How to disable Plugin Check from opening every time browser opens

Every time I open firefox, "plugin check" opens. Even after I installed and updated all plugins, the plugin-check appears whenever firefox opens. After updating all the plugins I restarted my pc, reset the browser and checked to make sure that my home page has not been changed the firefox plugin change, disabled all my plugins and even tried blocking the website via HOSTS.
I am fully capable of checking to see if my browser and plugins are up-to-date and I don't appreciate the unnecessary waste of time with this plugin-check running every single time the browser opens. Similar to updates, this should be an OPTIONAL check not FORCED and there should be a simple way to disable it without having the browser open an extra blank tab or requiring the user to edit the about:config to work around it.
Website: https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/

Hello defuz2013, go to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] find '''plugins.update.url''' and change it the value to an empty string.
also change the '''plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin''' to TRUE
then check firefox again
thank you

How do i disable the Check your plug ins page at start up?

at start up my homepage displays on one tab and a new tab that suggests to update plug ins displays from mozilla and shows some plug ins and if they are up to date or not, I wish to disable this page but don't see any options or any link to show how to disable it.

I think this will solve that problem with the Plugin Check page.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Pref = '''plugins.update.notifyUser''' if it shows as True, double-click that pref to toggle it to '''False'''
''That pref was new to the Firefox 3.6 version and is present in later versions.''

How can i stop plugin check from insisting i update my non-updateable plugins on Win2K?

I'm still running Win2K. Since it has officially gone off support, many of my plugins are updated as far as they ever can be. The "Plugin Check" page is opening every time i start Firefox, and there's nothing I can do to satisfy it. How can I disable it?

Possibly a plugin that should be removed see
plugin page keeps coming up: see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/832793 particularly the replies near the end (different replies for different users).
look for the word "red".
Possibly by having Firefox not check for updates for add-ons.

Disable Plugin Check

Every time I open firefox, a "plugin check" website opens up. I thought that once I installed and updated all the pertinent updates for the plugins, the website would disappear when I re-opened firefox. However, the page wont' seem to disappear. I've done 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 home page has not been changed the firefox plugin change, disabled all my plugins and even tried blocking the website via HOSTS.
(I am on firefox 3.6.17. I cannot update to 4.0 because some of the websites I use cannot support 4.0).
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I did follow the steps, Open URL about:config, write: plugins.update, then I set: plugins.update.notifyUser = false. Except it was already User = false. So, I set it to User = true. When I reopened the browser it magically changed back to User = false. However, I continued to get that annoyance.
I went back into about:config > plugins.update > only this time on the line below plugins.update.notify, I (R) clicked plugins.update.url > modify > & deleted the url: https://www.mozilla.com/%LOCALE%/plugincheck/ and replaced with my normal home page url.
No more annoyance.

How tdo you disable a check box

Hi
I'm been trying to dynamically disable (grey out) a check box using
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('checkbox name', ENABLED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
This is not working and when I display the value of ENABLED using GET_ITEM_PROPERTY it shows TRUE.
Can anyone tell me how to dynamically grey out a check box?

Dear Friend,
Whatever u have written is perfectly all right. Only thing can be checked is, do you have 2 items with same name if 2 different blocks. if so then provide name of block in Set_item_property statement. This technique works.

How to remove disabled plugin in Firefox

I have three Firefox Plugins which are disabled, but no means to remove same, and they do not show up Microsoft Uninstall or Change a Program Panel.

You can set the plugin.expose_full_path pref to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:plugins
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers via the navigator.plugins object, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
See "Manually uninstalling a plugin":

How can I disable plugin-container.exe ?

The plugin-container.exe has basically rendered my browser worthless and seems to be a growing problem. I've tried completely uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling it, updating Flash and all other associated Adobe products, but nothing helps. The plugin crashes Youtube (always) and pretty much every other video I try to watch. When I shut it down in task manager, it crashes the page, and when I reload the page it starts to run again. This has become a seriously annoying problem, and if I can't fix it I'm going to have to give up on Firefox as a browser. I'm not sure what you've tweaked over the past year or so to destroy a perfectly good browser, but whatever you did it was a huge mistake. Many of my friends who recommended Firefox to me have already abandoned it due to this problem and I'm ready to myself. It's just to buggy and it wastes too much time to struggle with it to watch a video.

First, install this; It will help

How do you disable automatic checking of email in Mail.app when lid is closed ?

In Mail.app my settings dictate that email will only be downloaded manually when I want it to be downloaded. However, if I close the lid of my Macbook Pro Retina with Mail.app running, it will download mail automatically for me.
Surely it should respect the settings of Mail.app and if I want it to be downloaded manually, then it should never download email automatically when the lid is closed ? Is there a way around this, or someway to disable it aside from having to close down mail everytime I shut the lid ?

It sounds like your machine is using "Power Nap".
Yes? No?
Mountain Lion: About Power Nap
If this is in fact the case, I agree it should respect your email settings, but I guess it doesn't, based upon your description.
Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
You can turn power nap off in System Preferences, Energy Saver.

If there was a way to disable the plugin check completely, would this website be the right place to get an honest answer?

Most answers tell me how to update firefox or how to fix it, how to make the plugin check work or tell me some workarounds. That´s why i think Mozilla has no interest to let the people disable the plugin check, because it got implemented for a reason.
But the whole thing is not about computer science. It is about psychology, respect and the free will of the people.
At first i get annoyed by this plugin check, then i want my revenge. I want to disable the plugin check! I do not want to make the plugin check work. I do not want to install a new version of firefox. I do not want to update my firefox and i do not want to fix my firefox. In fact i want a (virtual) sledge hammer to destroy my firefox - just a little bit regarding the plugin check.
But one feels treated like a child, that has to be protected from it´s own decisions.
That´s when i feel annoyed the second time around.
So, if mozilla doesn´t grant me the choice to disable the plugin check at will, i am only free to decide which browser i´m going to use.

@ the-edmeister
I´d like to apologise if you felt offended by my question. That was not my intention. Within my explanation i tried to describe the feelings of an unexperienced user like my father (77 years old). Because i felt the answers given so far were evasive. Everybody recommended to update or fix firefox respectively the plugin check, but no one seemed to answer the question if one can disable the plugin check completetly.
I just wanted to know if there is some kind of censorship that blends out answers inconvenient to mozilla. Thank you!
