Flash doesn't work nor appear in Plug-ins Options
Hello, I have followed every single help article provided by Firefox to "enable" shockwave flash. I've restarted browser 3 times, I've restarted computer twice, and I have cleared cache/cookies multiple times. Around 75% of the websites I use on a daily basis do not load a single object that is conected to Flash. It doesn't exist on Chrome, Firefox, Opera, or any web browser that I've tried downloading. Yes, the most current update of adobe flash IS installed on this computer and yes, I have uninstalled and re-installed adobe flash beyond 6 times already. A computer and the internet is useless without the use of the flash plug-in. I can't even access 75% of the internet and it is beyond stupid. Please help me fix this. I don't need a computer if I can't access the internet and I hate using mobile as you can't use banking or anything else on it. It is not user error.

Here is an image of what my "plug-ins" Section looks like.
Flash Player
Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.
Flash Player Version: Version 31.0.0.108

There are 3 distinct versions of Flash. The NPAPI Plugin version for Firefox and other Gecko web browsers; the ActiveX version for IE; and the PPAPI version for Chrome and other WebKit / Blink web browsers.
Use Firefox to go here: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Make sure that you deselect the pre-checked options for the "Optional offers" and download using Firefox to get the correct version of Flash. If you load that page with a different browser, you'll get the applicable version of Flash for that other web browser.
If Firefox was still running when you installed the NPAPI Flash Player Plugin on your system then either restart Firefox or type about:plugins in the Location (address) bar. Firefox will then scan for the Flash Plugin.
