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:
