Plugin Check: Keep Your Firefox Plugins Up to Date
Mozilla launched a new service called Plugin Check to help Firefox users keep a select number of popular browser plugins up-to-date. As you may know, you can check for updates yourself by clicking Tools, Add-ons, Updates, or just wait for the browser to notify you (which it does automatically from time to time). Plugin Check takes the form of a Web page that displays information about a limited number of visitors’ plugins, specifically whether the plugins are up-to-date or whether a more recent release is available.
