Yes, but there's a fix for this, too: You can just delete the null plug-in (which is what pesters you to install new plug-ins). This worked for me under linux: su mkdir /usr/local/mozilla/plugins-unplugged mv /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libnullplugin.so /usr/local/mozilla/plugins-unplugged/libnullplugin.so You've got to re-do this every time you upgrade your mozilla though. ====
