Can you try uninstalling Flash thru Mac's Finder sidebar? I feel like if you fully uninstall Flash, it can reinstall cleanly. Maybe it keeps stalling on a bad file.

https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18752 Apps that have an uninstaller: In the Finder sidebar, click Applications. If an app is inside a folder, it might have an Uninstaller. Open the app’s folder. If you see Uninstall [App] or [App] Uninstaller, double-click it and follow the onscreen instructions.

Apps that don’t have an uninstaller: In the Finder sidebar, click Applications. Drag the app from the Applications folder to the Trash (located at the end of the Dock), then choose Finder > Empty Trash.

About Firefox not updating: Try uninstalling it as well. Then try installing the copy you downloaded.
