Shockwave Flash - Outdated Version
When I check my plugins through: https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
I get this message: Potentially vulnerable plugins: Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32 Outdated Version
When I click on "Update" it sends me to: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Then, I click on "Download now" and it wants to install "Adobe DLM" (Download Manager) - but I get an error: Getplus+(r): error operating system error!

You can ignore the Adobe DLM, it is not required to install Flash. I find it easier to use the manual installers, for details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller

Thank you very much for that link!
The steps I took to resolve this problem:
1. Uninstalling every Adobe/Macromedia Player I had installed + using uninstall_flash_player.exe from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
2. Removing every folder and registry key that is related to Adobe/Macromedia
3. Doing a registry cleanup with CCleaner and Eusing Free Registry Cleaner
4. Then I noticed that I still had "Shockwave Flash" in my Firefox Plugins list (which is weird because of all the cleaning I've done) so I checked about:plugins in Firefox and got to this folder: "C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\Mozilla\plugins" and deleted the files: flashplayer.xpt + NPSWF32.dll.
5. Then I closed Firefox and installed the Flash Player using this file: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
And voila! the plugin was finally updated!
