I can't find any information in the knowledge base on windows command line options for Firefox. I actually had to go to "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments" to find this information. This seems like a fairly common piece of information FF users would want to know. At least, it's not extraordinarily rare.

You have out-of-date plugins with known security issues. You should update them.

  • Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 10.3
  • Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_21 for Mozilla browsers (new security update releases 10-12-2010)
  1. Check your plugin versions: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    • Note: plugin check page does not have information on all plugin versions
  2. Update Shockwave for Director
    • NOTE: this is not the same as Shockwave Flash; this installs the Shockwave Player.
    • Use Firefox to download and SAVE the installer to your hard drive from the link in the article below (Desktop is a good place so you can find it).
    • When the download is complete, exit Firefox (File > Exit)
    • locate and double-click in the installer you just downloaded, let the install complete.
    • Restart Firefox and check your plugins again.
    • Download link and more information: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Shockwave+plugin+with+Firefox
  3. Update Java:
