Needed to enable mozilla.org on the NoScript settings.

Just to clarify, you probably already have "mozilla.com" and "mozilla.net" already allowed in NoScript but "mozilla.org" seems to be an entry that you have to manually enter and allow.

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 I'm getting tired of seeing the notice that "some plugins used on this page are out of date" on almost every page that I visit.
