I am looking for detailed information on the Default Plugin in Firefox, specifically for v3.6.20. When I envoke the Troubleshooting Information page and select Plugins, I see that it is Disabled. However, in Preferences/Manage Ad Ons/Plugins, it appears enabled.

I am experiencing issues with Firefox that I need to solve before I make any future upgrade attempt, and this is an issue that I need to solve.

Thanks..

That is OK. The default plugin is used if there isn't a plugin installed to handle specific content and ofers to do a search.

What kind of problems do you have?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
