I work with a work PC that uses IE mostly but I use Firefox for almost everything, I have IE Tab on here to switch to for plugins and I can't install things like flash player into Firefox, is there a way to disable the yellow plugin bar that comes across the screen? I will NEVER us it on this computer and would like to get rid of it... Thank you!

You can set these two prefs to true on the about:config page

plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin
plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin


To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.
