Details

The web pages for AMO blocklist entries currently link to plugincheck. This is not desirable as we are not QAing plugincheck and plan to retire the service entirely after ESR45 is done.

For example:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/p1495

Old versions of the Flash Player plugin have known vulnerabilities. All users are strongly recommended to check for updates on our plugin check page.

This should instead link users directly to the page to get the updated Flash player (in this case https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/). This link is already present in the plugin block "infoURL" field.

Jorge, please let me know if I've filed this in the right place.

Yeah, this is the right place. I'll update the descriptions.
