Once a week when I check to new plugin updates - the system tells me I have say 4 that need to be updated. I check the version I have - and these are the same updates. Thanks

If this is still a problem, could you paste your plugin list from my test page here:

https://jeffersonscher.com/res/plugins.html

After you click the box indicated for copy/paste, the list will be selected and you can use Ctrl+c or right-click>Copy to copy its contents.

I have version 39 for several weeks now - I do keep this updated. Thanks for the reply

Did you actually try to check ? I commented because the forum software picks up your user agent string as:

 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0

See the details shown on the forum button [more system details] towards the top right.

So either you are using Firefox 38 instead of Firefox 39, or something has modified the user agent string. See
