How can I turn of the plugin nag in OSx? Don't really want Safari...
Made the mistake of upgrading to the latest Firefox OS 10.5 can use without having the Intel chip. My plugins are as upgraded as they will go, but apparently Firefox doesn't recognize that and the nag is IRRITATING!

hello rsalter1, enter "about:config" into the location-bar of the browser, confirm the info dialog, then search for the preference named "plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin" & double-click it in order to toggle it to "true".
you might also want to use an addon like flashblock to only enable the flash plugin when you need it (like when you're watching a video on youtube) in order to mitigate the risk while surfing the web,
please note that firefox also won't support the ppc architecture any longer, however if you want to use an up-to-date browser based on firefox you can switch to "tenfourfox" - the downside is, it doesn't support plugins at all. Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.4 or PowerPC processors
