Which version of Firefox are you running?
On the addons page select appearance on the left and see if you have a
different color scheme installed.
Try the java from this page http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp I
would uninstall java first if you've been having problems updating.
For Flash ... it always just saves. Then you have to run it from the saved
location. The link you provided includes that stupid McAfee scan thing.
Get the other link on that page. If you have problems, again, uninstall the
old one although usually you shouldn't have to.
Since you are getting all those weird messages, I assume you've updated to a
more current version of FF. Firefox is following Chrome in disabling
plugin's and extensions that might cause problems without your permission.
It's the wave of the future, Clint. You have no control. I've never gotten
that "some plugins" message. Of course I keep my plugins updated. Maybe
it's a message just for you. ;-)
Both Flash and Java use installers that download the file after you start
the install. Do you have your system locked down where the installer can't
get out to the download?

Ok thanks Phil.
Well I updated it, and the toolbar changed to some strange
abstract blue color and I can't see how to change it back! I
can't find any area about skins.
Furthermore, I picked a bookmark at random, and I get this BS
about "Some plugins used by this page are out of date", then I
click to update them, and this PoS tells me it has DISABLED
Java: "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated
version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version", (which
goes to
http://www.java.com/en/download/inc/windows_new_xpi.jsp ) and I
can't update it! The wonderful HELPFUL "An unknown error has
occurred"! Who the hell is it to disable anything without my
permission??
Then I also see on the page
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ where it tells me I
need the Java update a bunch of other "necessary" updates such
as Adobe Shockwave, and it also won't update it either! For
MONTHS I have been trying to update Shockwave
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download is STILL
corrupt! Except now, it too says the same "unknown error has
occurred" as the Java gave!
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_10_for_Oth
er_Browsers&os=XP&browser_type=Gecko&browser_dist=Firefox&d=McAfee_Security_
Scan_Plus
"When Opening dialog box appears, click Save File", there is no
"Opening dialog"!! This is ridiculous.
This is why I hate that browser.
How do I simply get RID of that annoying "Some plugins used by
this page are out of date" message so I never have to see it
again? And how do I get rid of that blue skin and put it back
to default?
Thanks,
-Clint

Worked for me when one of the add ons I use wasn't compatible
with the
new version for a few days till it (the add on) was updated.
