Hi ahupito, That can cause issues and Adobe have a utility to sort out the uninstalling. Probably of a lot more concern is that you are apparently on an unsupported unsafe version of Firefox and should update that immediately.

It is probably worth noting a lot of sites now no longer need FlashPlayer. For instance YouTube now provides HTML5 video by default. Checkout this test page once you have updated Firefox

Consider setting FlashPlayer to always ask
