I can think of a few ways to get similar results:


--  can happen with a damaged ActiveX installation (assuming you're on

Windows!)... people often tell each other to remove parts of the

installation but that can break things, better to use the uninstaller

instead


--  can happen if a certain site's JavaScript detection is written to not

detect new versions... popular detection routines are used more often than

handrolled ones (the one-or-all-sites test could help reveal this


--  could also be something else at play... we online may be picturing the

wrong symptom from the description (for instance, in IE/Win you wouldn't

see any "plugin download dialog", because IE/Win doesn't use plugins for

well-tagged sites)
