Patch your Flash! Version 18.0.0.203 (July 08, 2015)
tomos:
Firefox has become pretty aggressive at blocking vulnerable Flash versions. So maybe it's not necessary to uninstall Flash?

yeah, I think you're right - there's also the option to "Never Activate".
I posted more because I was suprised that unlike addons, plugins cannot be uninstalled. (And there's a few here I didnt install e.g. "Primetime Content Decryption Module provided by Adobe Systems, Incorporated 11"). So yeah, it was a more general comment.

To uninstall Firefox's Flash plugin you need to download an Uninstaller from Adobe's website.
shrugs :-\

Or for plugins generally in Firefox do
about:plugins
to see where they live and pick them off manually.

yup i got to the about:plugins page but like tomos, i was making a general statement on how convoluted the process is.
tomos:
^Yeah, I saw it as a bit of a security risk.
But OTOH I guess if someone is going to go so far as to check the plugins page, they are going to be able to do a search on how to remove :-\
