Every time I try to check on plugins so that I can update them etc, they start to load and then I get a message "Plugin Finding Service Error" We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later. The result is that I can't even check them to update them.

This evening I tried to check on plugins. They all loaded up & showed me the status of the updates, etc. Thanks for trying to help me out. Really don't know what caused my problem but it works now.

Have you tried this link? --> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

If you are using NoScript or some other JavaScript blocking extension, be sure that mozilla.org is allowed.

I don't have any addon such as no script or anything else but now also plugins are not getting updated.

The error is probably due to the fact I am on a very slowww dial-up connection. There is nothing I can do about that. Mozilla updates are too big for me to download on dial-up. So am I now no longer able to access the Internet without a bunch of nuisance update requests? NO affordable high-speed Internet service is available where I live.

Any number of times. Still get the same error message. Getting time-outs as well.

Can anyone walk me through how to do this? I was not able to figure out how to fix this in the Firefox preferences menu. Do I need to look in a different place?

Sorry to seem like a dum-dum, but I am having this same problem (tried the link offered and it also reverts to the "Retry" screen which doesn't work when I click on the "Retry" button), and am at a loss at how to fix it.

I have a brand new iMac (as of May 2012) and was surprised to find that I could not update an older Shockwave plug-in (which I have disabled until I can find a way to update).

Many thanks in advance.
