I've just updated to Firefox 18.02 and the plug in update checker isn't showing. I reverted to 18.01 and it's not there either anymore. Anybody else having problems?

It is working ok for me.

Try clicking on Help.Then click on troubleshooting information .On the right click on Reset Firefox and see if that helps.

Just checked my wife's computer and update checker isn't working on hers either. Will try your suggestion later, thanks.

Jock1e...............did you click on "check to see if your plugins are up to date"? I'm just getting the page with no plugin details showning.

Well if a reset did not work maybe the best thing to do would be to download Revo Uninstaller.Dot the setting 4 button so that it deletes everything.Unfortunately it will remove your favorites as well.

Then download Firefox again to see if it works.

I would wait and see if others can give you better information first.

I have just updated to 02 from 01 and under Tools/Add-ons the checker is at the top of the 'Add-ons Manager screen in blue

Never noticed it before, but it's there.

In my case another window opens but the plugins are not shown like they used to.

The blue wording is there but leads to a blank page. There is a thread Firefox support forum that says there is a server problem that they are attempting to address.
