Update only the Plugins which are showing the Yellow Update button infront of them using the links mentioned in my 1st reply. The plugins that show the Grey Research button infront of them are not critical to Firefox and its your choice if you want to search for their updated version for Updating them OR if you want to Disable/Remove/Uninstall them.
Are you having any problems, aside from some Plugins not updating ?? Are they causing any problems in your Firefox ??
i dont think so...the real player plug in which has an unknown/research tag,it works...so maybe the pc is working fine.ive gone into services to see if i cant start such items...there not there.the plug-ins with tag...real net works,real player,windows presentation manager,google earth,google up date,real player version p/i,google talk,google talk accelerator...unknown/research.i thought that there was so many that some item was stopping the up-date...but i will figure a way...thank you the dark eye.
Use the Grey Research button infront of these Plugins to check if they have any updated versions for them. Check and tell if it works.
Normally Plugins can be updated (if they have an updated release) via the 2 links provided in my first reply, without the need to search for the updates. If an updated version is not showing in the these links, then mostly its because their updated versions are not currently released/available.
