Note that the System Details list next to the question shows multiple Flash plugins.

  • Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0
  • Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.

This can possibly happen if you have parental control software enabled on the computer.
