[Firefox] What's wrong with Plugin check site?

Fx 37.0.1, Fx 31.5 ESR, Pale Moon 25, Sea Monkey 2.33.1, Thunderbird 24.7 on Windows 8 Pro and Win 10 Preview NONE can get a plugin check at Mozilla's page.

Folks in the Sea Monkey newsgroup think Mozilla is discriminating against SeaMonkey and Thunderbird...but Fx (two versions) and Pale Moon, which has a lot of Fx code, also cannot get a plugin check. So, I think there is something wrong with the page.

With Palemoon, it said the page was only for Firefox users. Changed the user agent to "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0" and then the page worked for Palemoon.

Most of my plugins are unknown to that page anyway. The only thing it knows about is Flash and Silverlight.

Firefox plugin check doesn't work on anything not identified as Firefox
Do you have your "Disable Plugin & Mimetype Enumeration" extension enabled again? You seem to forget it's enabled every month or two...

Plugin check works fine on my Fx 37.0.1 and Fx ESRs versions.
