In the address bar, type about:config
Click the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button if it appears.
Type "plugin" into the filter box.
Find the entry plugin.scan.plid.all and set it to false.
You're done!

You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file.
That update will remove the severity="0" flags in the file that cause the problem.

The extra Plugin Check page (or my homepage substitute) stopped appearing at Firefox startup on my PC a day and a half ago. (I waited to see if this problem would remain "fixed" before reporting) I did not do anything to cause the change (all previous efforts had been fruitless)--e.g., all the "about:config" plugin settings are default (except the address for "plugins.update.url." I still have an old Quicktime plugin version. (I did update Flash and Java plugins, but that did not stop the Plugin Check page from appearing.)
Instead of anything I did, I assume Mozilla changed something? If so, thank you. I hope it is fixed on your PCs also.
