Each and every time I now apply Mozilla it automatically and immediately ignores the initial website and sends my browser to - - - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ - - -

If I wanna do plug-in ....... what-ever (s) .......... That's MY business..... I neither want nor need Mozilla nor anyone/thing constantly reminding me to 'update' what ever!


Do I hafta eliminate Mozilla as my browser and go back to explorer or can this be fixed?

Can this browser be returned to normal or will I hafta eliminate it?

Do you have any plugins installed that are blocklisted?

See Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > > Plugins and the about:plugins page
