Firefox does not touch Chrome in any fashion. You can even run it off a flash drive for example.

Your Flash plugin may be older and therefore vulnerable as to why Firefox has in blocked version you have from being used in Firefox like for example Adobe Flash 10.2.* and lower has been blocked for your protection

According to More system details link on right of your post, you have the old Shockwave Flash 11.1 r102
