Why do the plug-in add ons have to notify you of up dates so often - can these notifications be turned off ?

When opening Firefox - (since edition 8) many of the plug-in products open also to notify of some type of change -- if this was once a month or so -- then that is ok but it happens to all my Firefox Browsers (5 desk tops here at home) most every day or every other day -- way too much waste of time -- and now I don't care for this notification -- CAN THIS SERVICE BE TURNED OFF IN FIREFOX SOME HOW ?

Hello mspaul, go to about:config find plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin , and double click on it to make it TRUE.


Thank you

Please keep in mind that Oracle (Java) and Adobe (Flash) have had a large number of updates the later part of this year containing security and stability fixes for their plugins. If you are unaware that an update has been released you may miss those fixes.
