Since Adobe makes FP, I went under the erroneous impression that it would be listed under Adobe, not Macromedia.

Here's my guess as to why that's the case: Since Flash was developed by Macromedia prior to Adobe's acquisition of same, the creation of various support files during the installation and/or initial launch included, reasonably enough, the Macromedia name.

On the theory that rewriting software is costly, and "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," Adobe didn't. I suspect Firefox uses the Mozilla name for much the same reason.
