How do I temporarily disable Firefox?
I am trying to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player, but it gives me an error and says it will automatically continue to download once the "conflicting" program (Mozilla Firefox) is closed. I need to temporarily disable Firefox so I can download Adobe, then enable Firefox again.

You don't have to disable Firefox. A simple way to update Flash is download the manual installer, close Firefox then run the installer to install Flash. For details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
Your list of plugins shows that you do not have the version of Flash used by Firefox, so you do not need to uninstall a previous version of Flash, just download the plugin version as shown in step 2 on the page linked to above, and then install it.
There are other things that need attention.
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.
- Java Plug-in 1.4.2_03 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)
- Adobe Acrobat Plug-In Version 7.00 for Netscape
Update the Java plugin to the latest version.
