On Windows 10, running FireFox 68.8.0esr (32-bit), I am unable to install or run the Adobe Flash Player.
When I manually try to download flashplayer32_xa_install.exe, I checked "unblock" on the general properties tab, but that still does not let the Adobe Download Manager work. I get a blank screen.
The C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\AdobeARM.log shows the below error
[2020-05-07 17:28:54:0994] Adobe ARM 1.824.24.5926 logging started.

Any suggestions on how to get my Adobe Flash running again?

AdobeARM.log file is an Adobe Reader file and not associated with Flash Player.
Please upload the Adobe_ADM.log and Adobe_GDE.log files saved at C:\Users\<YourUserID>\AppData\Local\Temp\Adobe_ADMLogs to Document Cloud (see How to share a document) or some other file sharing service of your choice that doesn't require user accoun to access, and post the link to the uploaded file in you reply. Please do not post the contents of the files in your reply. They are much too large to post here.
Alternatively, you can use the NPAPI offline/full installer posted at the bottom of the https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html page.
If you do use the offline installer, please still upload the Download Manager log files so we can review them.
Thank you.

Thank you for providing the Adobe_ADM.log file (AdobeARM.log file is irrelevant as it's for Adobe Reader, not Flash Player).
I'm not familiar with the error logged and will forward it to the Download Manager team for further review.

I am still not able to successfully install the Adobe Flash on FireFox.
Adobe Flash works on Internet Explorer.
