How do I turn off the Firefox plugin check?
When I open Firefox, I get a tab called "Plugin Check." How can I turn this off without updating any plugins?

Why wouldn't you want to update your Plugins?
You are like 3 versions behind with Flash and 10 versions behind with Java.
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 still have this problem, and the plugins.update.notifyUser is set to false and the page keeps appearing. The main plugin that won't update is Microsoft DRM
The "MetaStream 3 Plugin r4" extension has been reported to cause this issue with the plugin check page appearing.
You do have a very old Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32 plugin installed
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.
- Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
- Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_17 for Mozilla browsers
