In FIrefox, in the address bar, please type about:addons
and hit [ENTER]
This will open the addons/plugin page. Do you see Adobe/Flash player there ? Is it active ?
What pages you cannot open which require Flash ? Give me an example, please.
You may also take a screenshot (picture) of what you see and post them back here in your next reply. Here is how >> https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/

Hello @younghunny21
Adobe flash player can only be installed for browsers which do not have it built-in , like Opera, Chromium or Mozilla Firefox.
Browsers like Google Chrome (or Internet Explorer in Windows 8 and 10) have Flash built-in. Therefore if you attempt to install Flash Player for or with Chrome or IE, you will not be able to as they already have it.
Note that Adobe's FlashPlayer (previously known as Macromedia Flash Player) is an obsolete technology and is one of the most vulnerable software product ever created by a human being (1056 since year 2005 for a 20-30 MB file) . The IT technical community and Adobe will "kill" it by year 2020 >> https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/25/16026236/adobe-flash-end-of-support-2020
Flash is being replaced by other technologies including HTML5
Personally, I haven't used Flash Player for 3 years or more.
Anyway, if you use browser which do not have Flash Player built-in, you might want to install it from >> https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
