This may not be the same thing:

I'm running Centos-7, up to date. Flash seems to mostly work fine,...
I can see videos on CNN, for example, as well as other places.

however, I have a weekly online course that uses Adobe Connect,
which requires flash. At least in the Firefox that ships with (and
is updated occasionally by) Centos, flash crashes whenever I try
to open Connect. If I back out the 24.x.x.x flash version and go
back to the 11.x.x.x version it works fine.
