Plugin Finding Service Error
We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later.

I've been getting this error for over 2 weeks. Have tried everything I've seen suggested and still no luck. Cleaned cache and cookies, went directly to site instead of using buttons to plugin info page, you name it, I've tried it.
I'm getting tired of seeing the notice that "some plugins used on this page are out of date" on almost every page that I visit.

  • The update plugins page won't work it says "We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later" but this message has been coming up for days now..

    I installed Firefox4 and immediately had a problem with the addons manager page not displaying properly ( all the right hand side of the page was missing). I was advised to try a new profile which fixed it but now when I go to the page "Check your plugins for updates it keeps showing this message "We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later" but this message has been coming up for days now..

  • I keep getting this message whenever I click on the "Find Updates" tab in Tools/Add-ons: "Plugin Finding Service Error. We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later. Retry."

    I have updated Firefox to 3.6.16, and Flash Player to the new 10.2.153.1, and all the other "extensions" and "add-ons" work just fine. I can't figure out what the problem is except to say that, I have not been able to "update" the "plugins" in Firefox.
    Every day I have been trying to see if there is any change, but each time the message box reads the same: "Plugin Finding Service Error...." etc, as stated in the "Question" above.

    Will Mozilla ever solve this basic problem? It makes Firefox pretty much useless to many users. I guess they don't care about market share, since it's a free browser.
    The only work around I've ever found is to remove and reinstall the addons.

  • For some time now I have tried to update my addons using the addon checker. I get the following message everytime I try. "Plugin Finding Service Error We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later." What can I do to fix this problem?

    I am running 3.6.13. My ISP is through a satellite system. Running 64bit Windows Vista OS.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
