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

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.

First of all, thank you for posting about your issue. We are glad to assist you, also Mozilla does care about it's browser even though it is free. Have you seen [[What is plugin-container]] for assistance?

    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    I'm getting tired of seeing the notice that "some plugins used on this page are out of date" on almost every page that I visit.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.

  • 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.

    hello, you'll probably have to configure noscript correctly for the site to work (allow mozilla.org & mozilla.com), see https://support.mozilla.org/questions/755849
    in case you cannot resolve it that way, launch firefox in safemode once & see if it's working there in order to rule out the influence of any extensions.

    you might also want to install the search reset addon, since from the confoiguration you've provided it's apparent that the search from the address bar got changed by adware: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

  • Why can't I check my plugins at Firefox Plugin Finding Service ?

    Every time I visit this site to check and upgrade my plugins I encounter the same Plugin Finding Service Error saying " We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later."
    I have used Firefox for 2 years but I could never check my plugins at this site. Why?

    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
    * Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    * Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    * Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

  • Suddenly, I can't get the plugin scan page to open. I keep getting "Plugin Finding Service Error", no matter how many times I try, or wait. When I first opened it yesterday, it was scanning, then it disappeared and I got the error message.

    I have opened the plugin scanning page many times before, and have done some updating of plugins recently, but yesterday I couldn't bring up the scan, I keep getting "Plugin Finding Service Error", which says to "try again later". I believe what I updated most recently was Flash (I think). No matter how many times I push the "try again", or shut down Firefox and the webpage, I still get the error, and get nowhere!

    This problem has been occurring for the past two months. I have updated Firefox to version 3.6.16...including Flash Player to version 10.2.153.1 as instructed. I am able to click on the "Add-ons" tab and "find updates" for "Get Add-ons" and "Extensions." However, the "find updates" tab is not working for "Plugins."
    I followed one of your suggestions in your "troubleshooting plugins" topic (disabling the plugins...then enabling them after a check). That didn't work either. In fact, a message box would appear saying that Firefox has "disabled Flash" instead, which of course it did not, since I was able to confirm that the Flash Player update version was still intact. Unfortunately, it appears that updating the Flash Player through Firefox is not a standalone operation. Apparently it will not work properly unless a separate update is subsequently processed through Internet Explorer as well.
