IMPORTANT

This goes out ALL to Firefox users.

Most of you know what Add-ons & Plug-ins are i hope. In short, they are other programs attached to Firefox to enable it do other things.

Most of the time Add-ons will update themselves as Firefox checks them.

Plug-ins can take ages to update which can lead to security issues & cause crashes.

Firefox are building a Plug-in checker into the upcoming versions of Firefox.

For now, visit THIS PAGE and allow it to do a check for you, and install any updates it finds.

Bookmark that page and check regularly until the new Firefox is released

Thanks, that's a nice feature ,but can I add that after you do your plug-in updates, you may ask yourself why is my computer running slower then normal?

it's because after you do these updates (ie: itunes does it) a lot of these updates will reinstall the automatic to "run on start-up"... you will be running programs that you can start manually.. I like to go to CCleaner.com and check my registry integrity and disable uneeded programs that "run on start-up"....
