I've been asked this question a bunch of times before, and although I know I've written about this before, well... here it goes again in case someone missed it.
How do you check what plugins are installed in your firefox browser?
Open a new tab, and type "about:plugins" in the address bar (minus the quotation marks); hit enter and you will get a list of all plugins installed for Firefox and their status (working or not). ^_^
You don't need to be online to do this.
Do not confuse "plugins" (for example, Java plugin or flash plugin) with Extensions. Extensions are meant to extend the functionalities of your browser, giving it the ability to do something extra. Plugins are meant to let you access information coded into a third-party's format (like macromedia's flash).
A good example of an extension is the "WeatherFox" extension, which adds to your browser the ability to inform you about weather conditions in your area. ^_^ It's one of my favorite extensions. Or the del.icio.us plugin, which allows you to save bookmarks to del.icio.us at the click of a button in your toolbar. ^_^
