I am generally annoyed with Mozilla because there is no one to phone and discuss issues. You make changes without my permission, and then expect me to find answers online. You will soon succeed in driving me back to Microsoft.

You can stop the message appearing by changing a hidden preference.

Type about:config into the address bar, accept the warning message that appears. Find the preference plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin and double-click on it to change its value to true
