How do I prevent the yellow bar from appearing across the top of Hotmail emails that says, "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page." I DO NOT want plugin. How do I get Firefox to stop sending message?
Note: I did try to install the plugin just to see what would happen. When I clicked on "Install Missing Plugin" the next page said plugin could not be found---install manually. I clicked on manual install button and was directed to Adobe Flash Player - I already have current version of AFP installed.

Shockwave Flash 10.0 r42 is not the current version, 10.1 r102 is the latest.
Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter.
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Pref name = plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin
double-click that pref to toggle it to true
Restart Firefox.

Flash 10.2 is not finalized and should only be used by experienced testers. If you were an experienced tester, you would know how/where to get Flash 10.2. Please wait until the new version is publicly released.
