I have thwo versions of the Shockwave Flash in my Firefox: the 17.0 r0 is blocked because of security issues, while the 19.0 r0 appears to be working fine.
Now I ask: what I can do to get rid of that annoying version 17.0 r 0?

Your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.
- Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0
- Shockwave Flash 19.0 r0
You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.
You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.
- (32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
- (64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\

Note that this will remove all installed Flash players.
Ok, I used "about:plugins" and I found the file of the Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0. Now what? I want to uninstall that file without uninstall all Flash Players in my PC. :(

You can delete this file via File Explorer and only leave the latest Flash player file (NPSWF32_##_X_X_XXX.dll) in that folder.
You can also check the Windows registry.
- HKLM\Software\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/FlashPlayer
It's done. Thanks for your help! :)
