Picked up the old version of Chrome that some of my secondary Browsers run on.
https://qualys-secure.force.com/discussions/s/article/000006311#S2_PluginLimitations says: On Windows: Google has taken down the Google Chrome extension. Scans on the following browsers do not work since they use the Chrome extension. Microsoft Edge Google Chrome
Windows/Firefox has 3 scan modes: "Basic scan / Just this Browser" gives a sensible report on Firefox, but "Intermediate Scan" and "Advanced Scan" claim to check all browsers but cannot find my Firefox.
September 2020: On Linux/Firefox BrowserCheck cannot get the flash plugin version number, and recommends an out of date version. Browser Plugins have been dumbed down and are needed less with HTML5. I suspect that this is making Qualys put less effort into maintaining this plugin.
