Yes, <about:plugins> does have a link "Find updates for installed plugins at mozilla.com/plugincheck." that goes to <http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/>. Of 10 plugins on my system, however, 6 are indicated as "Unknown plugin". Those unknowns include 3 from RealNetworks (e.g., RealPlayer) and 2 from Micro$oft. More important, going to [Tools > Add-ons Manager] on the SeaMonkey menu bar and selecting the Plugins icon in the left margin shows a list of plugins. At the top of the list, there seems to be a link "Check to see if your plugins are up to date". This is underlined and in the color of an unvisited link; hovering my cursor over it turns my cursor into a hand, further indicating a link. Disabling CSS shows that this is a button. In any case, this link is a no-op; hovering my cursor over it shows no URI in the status bar. Go to <about:plugins> to get the update status of plugins does work, but only for some plugins. Going to the Add-ons Manager for the update status does not work. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
