Updating plugins
Hi there I am wondering if anyone can help help me with this annoying problem i have had of a while, every time is am using my Firefox browser. I am getting the following plugin that will not update and are just saying research.
- Google Earth Plugin (v. 7.1.5.1557) - NVIDIA 3D VISION (v. 7.17.13.5560) - Microsoft Office 2013 (v. 15.0.4703.1000) - AdobeAAMDetect (v. 3.0.0.0) - AdobeExManDetect (v. 1.1.0.0) - Shockwave for Director (v. 12.1.8.158)Research - CANON iMAGE GATEWAY Album Plugin Utility for IJ (v. 5.0.0.0) - Google Update (v. 1.3.28.1) - NVIDIA 3D Vision (v. 7.17.13.5560) - NVIDIA 3D Vision plugin for Mozilla browsers
I understand that this isn't a major problem and I am not having any loss of experience or quality with using Firefox. I am just wondering if anyone has found if there is any updates to these plugins?

Several different companies provide update information to Mozilla for the plugins site, but those companies do not, so you just get a Research button.
My recommendation would be to disable the two Adobe "detect" plugins.
To update your Shockwave for Director plugin, if you visit sites that use this rare format, you can use this page (make sure to uncheck any unwanted extras): https://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
Microsoft's plugin should be kept up-to-date by Office updates.
You can bookmark this for Google Earth to see whether it lets you know when an update is available: http://www.google.com/intl/en/earth/explore/products/plugin.html -- I don't know what Google Update does but maybe it checks for Google Earth updates?
I'm not familiar with the CANON and NVIDIA plugins.
