My apologies, my keyboard keys were not working well and I did not proofread before submitting the message, here is the corrected version.

Hi All, I am not very good with computers I’m afraid and this latest issue has been dong my head in. I am using Firefox version 32.0.1 and after going to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/?utm_source=firefox-browser&utm_medium=firefox-browser&utm_campaign=plugincheck-update to check to see if my plugins are up to date, a few at the top read as 'vulnerable' suggested Action: (Update Now) but After clicking the button to update I get redirected to a page that tells me what is included in the update without proving any links to the update itself, at least as far as I can see. I also have a few plugins listed as 'unknown' suggested action: (research) but can't seem to find out how to update those either, I guess they are no longer supported. Could anyone please advise me on how to find the updates so the plugins are no longer vulnerable?

Other users have reported they sometimes get unhelpful update URLs on the plugin check site, but this seems to vary over time as the site is frequently updated.

To get the latest Java plugin, specifically, you can start from Oracle's test page:

http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

Which other ones does the site mention needing an update?

For less common plugins, it is normal that the plugin check site will not know the latest version. Some plugins are installed as part of a stand-alone software package, such as DivX, RealPlayer, and VLC. If you check those for updates, then you should get the latest plugins as part of the package. For others, it would depend on the specific plugin.
