Found this today and thought it to be blogworthy.

Are your Firefox plug-ins up-to-date?

Although I disagree with MS adding third party drivers to Windows Updates it looks like Mozilla is (and quietly has been) following suit in "thinking for us" when third party software updates are needed. No matter if we want them or not!

After many concerns on other forums I'll add this now instead of later...

Why is the page blocked as unsafe?

That's the certificate I was referring to. You can click "I understand the risks" and add an exception to your certs.

It's safe.

Important! As of this posting Firefox 3 did warn of an invalid certificate because the Plugin Check isn’t final yet. Although, the site is safe. Mozilla will hopefully fix the certificate very soon.

The Mozilla Plugin Check Is Now Live. It has a new URL and no more security warnings about the certificate being out of date.
