I understand that, but why would the Mozilla plugin site be
offering an out-of-date plugin, and then saying it's blocked?
Chris, as explained in my original post, I'm talking about "Tools :
Add-ons Manager : Plugins". When I try to update from within SeaMonkey,
it offers an out-of-date version and says it's "blocked". I think it's
pointing to the site https://addons.mozilla.org/
Here's another example of a blocked message
https://blocklist.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/blocked/p1246
Okay, I just wanted to clarify, because Mozilla doesn't offer plugins,
and doesn't have a plugins site. :)
The page at Tools-->Add-ons_Manager-->Plugins lists the plugins you have
already installed.
Plugins are offered by third-parties, and are not installed by SeaMonkey.
As noted upthread, when a plugin is outdated, Tools | Add-ons Manager |
Plugins will have a link to "Update now," which unfortunately doesn't
take the user to the publisher's update page, but to an explanation of
the reason for the block. This should be fixed.
