I assume you know the security issues with Adobe Flashplayer?
If not look them up as they advise to uninstall it ASAP.
Best luck.

Try Googling something like, "shockwave flash keeps crashing", maybe adding other keywords like "firefox" or whatever is appropriate.
Plenty of results come back, and you may just have to start looking through them until you find something that helps you, since there's going to be many permutations of Windows versions, browser being used, etc. that might make it hard for anyone to provide a simple answer. And a bit of computer jiggery pokery might be involved, but the relevant info should provide step-by-step instructions.
I'd love to know how to get rid of Flash on my Android tablet since Ad Blocker stopped working, as adverts are causing me so many performance headaches (e.g. memory leaks, crashes, grinding to a halt until I do a reboot). Got a feeling the only solution is to try an iPad next time...

AdBlock Plus stopped working with Android 5 (Lollipop). But I never liked using it because it needed to have a port open, and doing that then caused intermittent connectivity problems with YouTube, Play Store etc.
Lollipop is diabolical anyway, full of memory leaks and kept crashing (which I was always experiencing with Flash-heavy pages), so I downgraded to the previous version before Lollipop and that's much better.
I use Chrome, but I don't like whatever built-in component it uses for Flash... If Flash is unstable or buggy these days, I'm pretty much stuck with it unless I start looking at other browsers. Those Flash adverts are like a programs in their own right, so regardless of what Google do with Chrome and Android, they are still using a third-party program which they have no control over, particularly if Adobe aren't supporting it anymore on Android.
I did try using Firefox for a bit, but didn't like it as overall it seemed much slower than Chrome. If all these advertisers were forced to use static images, or animated GIFs, then I wouldn't have a problem, but they love using Flash.
That's why I was thinking of investigating an iPad, purely to see if I have a better experience away from Flash... otherwise I would stick with Android and Chrome as I like them. It would only need Google to drop Flash support as well, then the advertising world would soon change.
Anyway, apologies for hijacking the OP's thread with my little rant.
