Checking plugin status, two are listed as "Unknown Plugin"

The buttons offering to research them result in a 404 File Not Found.

The buttons link to[[ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/null]] which comes up with:

Whoops! What are you doing here?

Did you make a left at that last URL instead of a right? No problem. Unless you want us to deal you in, here are some tips to get you back on your way: 

   If you typed in the address, check your spelling. Could just be a typo.
   If you followed a link, it’s probably broken. Please contact us and we’ll fix it.
   If you’re not sure what you’re looking for, start at mozilla.org.

When I click a Research link, I and sent to a Google results page. When I right-click a Research link and choose Copy Link Location, I get (for example) this: http://www.google.com/search?q=current%20version%20plugin%20Microsoft%20Office%202010

If you right-click and Copy Link Location, what do you get?

Have you changed your default search engine?
