Firefox is not checking my plug-ins to show they are updated
After I updated the Java Adobe Flash yesterday, the function for checking plug-ins for updates was okay. This morning, it just sits there and spins without doing anything.
Have never had this problem in the past.

Please try and check directly using Adobe's site if you have problems with https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ { It is working ok for me right now.)
There are or have been known issues with Mozilla servers recentlyhttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/for.../711040?last=63882#post-63882. I guess highly publicised issues requiring FlashPlayers updates have increased loads.

Check your Flashplayer is up to date by visiting http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ separately with each browser.

john99, I did not need to use the suggestions you provided, however they are certainly valid, because this morning the plug-in checking option is functional without any problems at all.
Therefore it must have been a "known issue" you referenced above with Mozilla Servers. All of the other recommendations are excellent, and I appreciate you taking the time to respond and provide those links!!

I also updated my adobe flashplayer however I'm still getting this message that the old one is still there and needs updating. How & Where do I find the program on my computer to verify it's updated ?
