(October 14, 2009)
Mozilla now has a service that checks to make sure that Firefox users
are running the most recent versions of browser plug-ins. The first
version of the service checks the status of about 15 plug-ins; Mozilla
plans to add others in the future. There are also plans to embed the
service in Firefox 3.6, which is scheduled for a November release.
Firefox already has the capability to check if add-ons are up to date.
According to Mozilla, out-of-date plug-ins are responsible for about 30
percent of browser crashes.
