Mozilla Plugin Check page to help safer web experience – Mozilla Links

To provide users a safer web experience, Mozilla is now going after plugins, which due to the lack of an effective update mechanism, are usually a few versions behind in most user’s computers, leaving them unnecessarily exposed to already patched security flaws.

With the latest Firefox 3.5.3 update, Mozilla introduced a simple check to its first run page that looks for new versions of the Flash plugin if it is currently installed. If it isn’t up to date, a link is provided to get the new version.
