Hey New aged2perfection,

I understand that the plugins are hanging. Please check show a screenshot of this when you click one "Check for updates" on the about:addons page. How do I create a screenshot of my problem?

You can also check your antivirus and check this plugin check page https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ This page will also have links to prompt the download.

Cheers, Rachel
