I am using Firefox v26. I use some outdated software. I need to disable the plugin check page. I have read that Mozilla considers this a security risk, however, this is MY system and I will risk it. Instead of forcing it on us as if you were microsoft, could you please just give us a check box to turn this thing off in options . We can think for ourselves. The only way I can get anything done at the moment is to open IE. This is very disappointing from my previously completely trusted open source browser.

What is the screen you are getting? I must not have any plugins as out-of-date as yours, because I can't recall ever being blocked from using Firefox for that reason.

I am running an even older version of Flash (10.3.183.90), than the OP is using, and I don't have any problem with the plugin check page appearing other than once after a Firefox update.

It's just the regular Mozilla plug in check screen. Sometimes it's for Flash, and it may update or fail, other times it's for shockwave, which I know I cannot update anymore, because one of my PCs is running XP sp2. However, it's mostly Flash, which I do not see the need to update practically every day, eg, the day I wrote this question, it failed numerous times, then hours later in the day it finally installed. By then I had switched over to IE so I could do the work I needed to do. Today, Flash had to update yet again. My problem is not with Flash updates installing or failing - it's with Mozilla refusing to let me choose how I use my PC. I know the risks, I will accept it, I want to be able to turn off this feature and check for updates regularly myself, the same as I do with Win updates on my XP, 7 and 8 PCs. Even Microsoft will let you turn off auto updates, even if they don't like it.
