You have 2 Flash players installed. One very old version (7.0 r19) and the current version (10.0 r45).
Un-install the old version from Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and see if that resolves your situation.
If that does not correct your problem, this tool from Adobe will un-install ALL instances of Adobe Flash from your system, including the IE ActiveX version. You will then need to reinstall the current version plug-in for Firefox and the ActiveX version for IE: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
