Why Flash player works on Internet Explorer and ask an updated version in Firefox and Chrome?

In a Windows 7 (32 bits) computer I have alredy installed Flash player version 11.1.102.55. And Internet Explorer (v. 9) runs Flash Player content but Mozilla Firefox (v. 9.0.1) and Google Chrome (16.0.912.75) keeps requiring an updated version on Flash Player (alredy installed the last one: 11.1.102.55)

Well, Google Chrome has an embedded Flash Player that you can not change, update Google Chrome.

The files in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash contain only the Flash Player for Firefox, so I have no idea how you are playing Flash videos with I.E.9(9.04?).

I suggest a clean install: How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?

Be sure to run both of these installers.

Flash Player for Internet Explorer

Flash Player for other browsers
