How to stop Flash Player Plugin from crashing Firefox
None of the online help is getting me anywhere. I crash about every 2 minutes. I have to go to Task Manager and stop FlashPlayerPlugin_22_0_0_209. I can't figure out how to stop it or how to uninstall it. I'm am EXTREMELY frustrated.

This is not a cure, but should let the web page load without crashing.
Flash block {web link} Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it
If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
- see if there are updates for your graphics drivers

- disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

Thank you for trying to help me but really, I'm not an IT person and most of what I tried to read I don't understand. Isn't there some easier way to tell a person who isn't an IT specialist how to fix this issue. I'm on 10 and just need to get the @#$!!$# Flash Player to stop constantly freezing every single thing I try to do on the internet.
That would remove Flash Player, not solve the problem.
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.
