I'm still running Win2K. Since it has officially gone off support, many of my plugins are updated as far as they ever can be. The "Plugin Check" page is opening every time i start Firefox, and there's nothing I can do to satisfy it. How can I disable it?

look for the word "red".

Possibly by having Firefox not check for updates for add-ons. Tools > Options > Advanced > Updates > ...

MetaStream 3 Plugin r4 might be causing it. Get rid of it.
