Same thing happens with my G5 running FF 3.6.25. If there's a way to get rid of the yellow bar, I don't know how. I think you just have to ignore it.
One plug-in update it wants is probably Flash, which can't be used on your system. I'm not sure if it's because of the G5, or because it needs a later OSX to run.
I tried opening a site in Safari that I always get the yellow bar for in FF, and didn't get a notice in Safari. Maybe, it's a pref setting.

But, of course, it Safari won't run a Flash video on a webpage, either, because I have an old Flash that can't be updated. So, I don't get anything like the yellow bar with Safari, but I still get a request for a Flash update when I click on the video...just like in FF.

Have you tried Camino?
<http://caminobrowser.org/ >
It's Mozilla-based but much less resource-hungry than FF.

In the prefs, go to "Advanced" and then click on the "Update" tab. Then simply uncheck the options that are presented.

Seems like the obvious thing to do, but after trying out my suggestion (I get those reminders too), I've found out that it doesn't work as I expected it would.
So, as Emily Litella would say ... never mind.

I went ahead and tried to create an action myself to see if I could figure this out.
Keep in mind that I'm using OS 10.4.11 and PS CS4, but it shouldn't make any difference if you're using a different version.
After you've created and saved the action, open a photo and then the actions palette window. Click on your newly created action to select it, and then go to the "action options" in the drop down menu in the upper right corner of the actions palette and choose a function key to make the action work. I picked f13 for my test since it wasn't being used for anything else according to my Sys Prefs. That should do it. Hope it works for you.
