I guess we all know about keeping add-ons up to date, but what about plug-ins?

I've just found this very useful tool: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/

Dunno if it doesn't like Debian's Iceweasel (slightly modified Firefox) or Linux in general (probably the latter), but it was 'Unable to Detect Plugin Version' for 9 of the 11 plugins It thinks I have installed.

If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find a Unix user to show you how it's done. (Scott Adams)

Yep looks like it doesn't like Linux, it only managed 2 of my plug-ins on FF 3.5 under Mint 7.

This is Linux Country, on a quiet night you can hear WINDOZE! Systems REBOOTING !!
