how in the latest version of firefox do I now check to see if my plug-ins are up to date?
I just up-dated my firefox to the newest version but I can not figure out now how to see if my plug-ins are up to date or not? There is no header to click on likes years before of using firefox, it just shows me what all plug-ins I have NOT if they are up to date or not! This was on 11-15-2016. Someone HELP!

Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control>(Mac=<Command>)<Shift> A)
On the left side of the page, select Plugins.
At the top right is a link to check your plugins.
Use this link to check that your plugins are up-to-date. If any are listed as unknown or research, do not worry about them.

I for-sure liked the old way much better as it was faster, and easier as well! Shame on you FireFox!
Now I have to use a special link to check if my plugins are up-to-date? What a waste of my time! I, too, liked the old way better.
Why did you make it harder to check? I thought the idea was to simplify things. Not only do I now have to use a link (which I will have to bookmark because it's not available on the main pages), but I just spent a lot of time searching for the old link and now I had to waste more time logging into the support forum just to find out how to do something that used to be easy. That's what Microsoft does. Don't be like them.
