I see you have Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in installed. Do you need it? See this old question.

Your More System Details information that comes with your initial posting here shows only the Flash 16.0 version, but not which one out of the three versions that Adobe has released in the last 2 months. So it might be best if you start from scratch with Adobe Flash, since Flash doesn't always clean up after itself during an update and tends to leave stray files behind.

First, grab the Adobe uninstaller from here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

Then download the latest Flash Plugin version [when using Firefox] from here: https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html


Run the Flash uninstaller program, then reboot your PC. Then install the Plugin version of Flash. So you'll have a clean installation of Flash for Firefox.
