You could be looking in the wrong spot. Lets just make sure. Can you post a screenshot of the Extentions page of your Add ons (about:addons).

Thank you!!

Have a great day!!

Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;

Installed Plug-ins

Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0 Shockwave Flash 15.0 r0

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Flash Player Version 17.0.0.169

Make sure you are not running in Safe Mode.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.

Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

See "Corrupt extension files":

If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end of the Search bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.

If this hasn't helped then also delete possible addons.json and addons.sqlite files.
