Current Firefox versions are 64 bit on OS X, so you need a 64 bit version of Flash with Firefox 6.0.x or you need to start Firefox as a 32 bit application to be able to use a 32 bit version of a plugin.
- Close Firefox
- Start the Finder and open the Applications folder
- Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
- Select "Get Info"
- Select or Deselect "Open in 32-bit mode"
- Close the "Firefox Info" window
- Restart Firefox

I'm not seeing the Flash plugin listed in your above posted More system details list.
Is that plugin enabled (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins)?
I've had a similar problem on Windows where there was 2 copies of the flash .dll (not sure what they are on a Mac).
One was in the profile directory, while the other was in System32. Somehow, the one in the profile directory was taking precedence over the one in System32 so that when I installed a more recent version of flash (that installs in System32), I'd still get an error indicating that my version was too old.
check to make sure you don't have 2 or more copies of the files required for flash.
Flash does not appear in the plugins list. It works fine in other browsers. /Library/Internet plug-ins/Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt exist. I can't find the flash plugin elsewhere (profile/plugins, in the App package)
I created a new profile to test if the profile was at fault. The plugin still did not load. Firefox finds the plugin but in [profile]/pluginreg.dat it adds it under [INVALID]:
[INVALID] /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin:$ 1315562441000:$ /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/flashplayer.xpt:$ 1314065602000:$
Well, I found the problem. I had slimmed Firefox (removed powerpc and other languages) using XSlimmer. For some reason, this stops Flash working in Firefox. Any suggestions? Or should I just not slim Firefox now?

Thank you. The problem was I was trying to use 32 bit flash with 64 bit Firefox (XSlimmer had removed the 32 bit binary from Firefox). I installed Flash 11 RC1 64 bit and flash works in 64 bit with 64 bit Firefox. Flash 11 RC1
