I have the same issue and it's been going on now for at least 6 months since I switched from Google Chrome to Firefox. How are you supposed to check to see if your "Plug-ins" are up to date? Does anyone have a different method of checking? Thanks, SaylorboyFF

Too chek our Plug-ins on firefox if they are updated follow my stepp and you will see if they needs to.

1. Click on Firefox button at the left upper corner.

2. Then Click on add-ons and it will take you too the Add-ons Manager.

3. Then go to Plugins

4. Then click on the blue lined Text Chek to see if your plugins are up to date

5. Then let the screen load up our Plug-ins, then it will identify if they are updated, but remember sometimes the addon managing web might not show if they have an update so to be sure click on the green button up to date to get too its website and see if they have a new release.

Ill hoppe my help comes usefull for you :)
