Adobe Flash Player crashing on Firefox, but NOT Internet Explorer
A few weeks ago Firefox updated. Since then Adobe Flash does not work. If I use Internet Explorer, (which I dislike), all pages work normally. When using Firefox, Flash player crashes. I have uninstalled/reinstalled flash nearly a dozen times, with no success. I've "refreshed" Firefox, no help. I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, flash still crashes on Firefox, but NOT I.E.
I don't know what too do, short of ending my use of Firefox, and switching to Internet Explorer.
Any suggestions?, Anyone?

Firefox uses different Flash plugin than Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and hardware acceleration in Firefox and try this:
- make sure you have the latest Flash version:
http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html - check for updates for your graphics drive drivers
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration - disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Windows Vista and later)
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/adobe-flash-protected-mode-firefox - disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
