Checking if plugins are up to date in Firefox 50.0

Post by LcapH76 »

Hello,
I just updated to Firefox 50.0 from Firefox 49.0.2 on Windows XP.
The plugins section of the about:addons page does not display anymore the very useful link "Check to see if your plugins are up to date" at the top of the plugins list.
Is this a bug that needs to be fixed or is this feature available from somewhere else?
Thx

Probably not a bug... that somewhat 'built-in' function has not worked properly for some time...

FWIW ... I use this app to check from time to time ... checks if app. updates are out there...

Bookmark https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/. It doesn't list all plugins, probably because they aren't in the database referenced.
