It depends on usage - the FireGL would be an asset in any G4 using Pshop
or graphics intensive programs or games. Pshop filters would be a lot faster
with a FireGL - and you get QE and CI.

Welcome to obsolescence, you're 4 major versions of OS X behind the current 
one, about to be 5. Both Apple and Adobe are getting more aggressive about 
bugging you when you have outdated plug-ins, but won't give you up-to-date 
plugins for your long-deprecated OS version.

The latest Sibelius scorch plugin is available here: 
 and is 
supported under 10.4.11

The latest QT that works with 10.4 is what you have, 7.6.4
The latest Flash and Shockwave plugins for Tiger are what you have as well.
The Musicnotes one is marked as 'unknown', so it's not likely a problem.

Of the notices you have the most problematic is Flash. Flash is everywherem, 
but they've dropped support for older Mac OSes.

Your system is more than capable of running 10.5 which should get you better 
support (although that one is deprecated as well).

You can disable ones you don't use; I'll wager shockwave is little used these 
days and unless you have a specific web site that uses it, very few websites 
use Java, either. (Remember Java is NOT JavaScript)

Or just use a browser (safari) that doesn't nag you.
