Please don't abuse the security flag. Are you using the Flash installer for NPAPI/Firefox? The Flash installer for IE is a different application, as I understand it.

I have used the installer "Flash player 11 for other browsers" Firefox, Safari, Opera

What you see is sometimes a symptom of broken UA sniffing.  Please provide the URI of a site where you see this problem.  

Also, there have been a number of problems with Flash 11.3.300.265.  The latest version for Gecko-based browsers is 11.3.300.268.

I'm closing a lot of bugs which are filed as Adobe Flash bugs which are either irrelevant, not actionable, or not serious enough to track in the Mozilla bug tracker. For the most part, Flash bugs should be filed in Adobe bugbase, and we'll only track a few highly-critical issues in the Mozilla tracker.

Version and milestone values are being reset to defaults as part of product refactoring.
