I do not add many plugins to FF either in Linux or Windows. I explicitly DO NOT download/add ANY add-ons from links that pop up on web sites. Basicly I do not trust the average site to be honest or competent to add something to my system. If a site says I need a plug-in and does not tell me what that plug-in is, that is an automatic disqualification for me. If they do say what is needed, I will go to a trusted source for it. In addition to the concern over getting malware/adware, I want to be sure the site recognizes the version of browser and OS I am using to either offer only the right versions or advise me how to do so.
