You can check the status of some (not ALL; this is a "work-in-process" page) of your plug-ins here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
Other Issues: ~~red:You have installed plug-ins with known security issues. You should update them immediately.~~
Update Java: your ver. 1.6.0.07; current ver. 1.6.0.20 (important security update 04-15-2010)
