Can't read license while installing Flash player

I got prompted to install a Flash update today on my Win 10 Pro machine. Install window shows the usual "I've read and agree to license" box. I thought I'd glance at the license, unlike probably 99% of people who blow past that. Clicking the link resulted in the following:

1) Browser (Firefox) opened to an Adobe page with a long list of products.

2) I had to search this page to find the Flash Player license link. Why could Adobe not link directly to the license page??

3) I clicked the link, which prompted me to download the license PDF. I saved it locally.

4) I clicked the file in the browser download list to open the license. Nothing happened. Tried this a couple of times, same result.

5) Found the PDF file in my file explorer, and tried opening it from there. But wouldn't open from there either.

6) Checked Task Manager and saw around 8 instances of adobe exe running, but nothing open on desktop.

My conclusion is that when the Flash installer is running, Adobe Reader won't open. Am I doing something wrong? If that is indeed the behavior, I would think Adobe needs to fix this ASAP or risk not only the wrath of users, but potential legal issues if users can't actually read their license while installing.
