"Plugin Check" page comes up every time I open Firefox. How do I stop this?
Every single time I open Firefox, the "Plugin Check" page opens in a second tab. I do not need to check my plugins. They're all up to date. Why does this page continue to come up and how do I stop it from opening?

Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter.
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
I've tried the suggestion of using the settings in "about:config" and the plugin tab still appears every time. I may resort to calling in Mozilla.
Actually when I toggled every link with the world "plugin" to False it seemed to work.
You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file.
That update will remove the severity="0" flags in the file that cause the problem.
