Mozilla's Plugin Check
The site didn't work for me. It told me to try again later. But that aside, I don't want it to work. A web page has no business seeing which plugins I have installed. As the EFF's Panopticlick shows, that leads to a far too easy way to fingerprint visitors. Is there any way to disable this functionality (Firefox extension or similar) without disabling Javascript entirely (yes, I do run NoScript, but sometimes I want a site to have Javascript enabled).
