FLASH PLAYER ISSUES

I have Windows 10 and run Firefox 70.0 for 64 bit.  Today I went into Facebook Gameroom where I play the FB Games and all of the games say I have to Install Adobe Flash Player which I did.  Went back into Gameroom-says to enable Flash Player.  I clicked where arrow pointed and all it does is wants to install it again and again.  Firefox recently removed the "Always On" option for Shockwave and it gives 2 options...Ask to Activate and Never Activate.  Therefore, I cannot play the games - even on Facebook itself most of them won't work.   I went on Firefox site and there was a link to download the Flash Player so I did it again - still will not work.  I am very frustrated at this point and am considering going to the Microsoft Edge Browser which came with my Hewlett-Packard Desktop computer.  I am not sure if this is a Firefox issue or an Adobe Issue....can anyone help at all?  I can't take this - why they have to change stuff I don't know but Firefox says it's a security issue turning off this option.  According to everything I've read, Microsoft built in a Flash Player into Windows 10 and I do not need adobe flash player???  This just started today-some sites I have been going to for a long time wouldn't come up-says couldn't find them, etc.   Any help is really appreciated.

My understanding is that Gameroom is basically a customized instance of Chromium (the open-source version of Chrome) with it's own bundled Flash Player. You'd need to reach out to Facebook for Gameroom support. We don't really have any control over what's happening there.

For Flash Player in Firefox specifically (which AFAIK, is independent of Facebook Gameroom), you may need to enable Flash Player:
