Flash ActiveX and NPAPI - what are they?

I see two things in Control Panel/Add Remove Programs

Adobe Flash Player 16 ActiveX

Adobe Flash Player 16 NPAPI

I don't use special software or anything, I just have Google chrome, IE and firefox... do I need these two software, and what are they please?

I ask since recently I had bsod and want to see the cause. Also firefox crashes.

Thanks

Correct answer jeromiec83223024

Flash Player for NPAPI is Flash Player for Firefox

Flash Player for ActiveX is Flash Player for Internet Explorer

Flash Player for Chrome is built directly into the browser, so there's nothing separate to install or download.
