Didn't know about this until today :( Very useful, except it doesn't appear to recognise some of mine ?

Gonna be tough for it to update what it doesn't recognize, eh? ;)

When I go to 'about:plugins' in the browser I recognize everything.
There are only a handful of plugins there, so I find it no great task to visit the websites of the plugins and get any updates directly. Or pick them up from sites such as FileHippo or MajorGeeks, which is actually my personal wont.

The Mozilla link appears useful enough for those who care to use it, though.

Tools > Add-ons > Plugins > Find Updates
That sends you directly to the site. I find other ways of updating more convenient and effective (it mistakenly reported my flash plugin to be "up-to-date" today).
