CentOS - Feb 2017 - CentOS 6, flash-plugin crashing - anyone have a clue?

I wrote:
Anyone else seeing this? I'm playing streaming media, and after about 10

from two separate radio stations.

So, is anyone else having this issue? Not only am I having it, but I'm
seeing it on other users, running CentOS 7. On my system, I see in my logs
plugin-containe[17209]: segfault at 3e78991a13c4 ip 00007f06e29fe522 sp
00007ffe9b68de08 error 6 in libflashplayer.so[7f06e238d000+107b000]

I'm running Version     : 24.0.0.194 on CentOS 6.8, which appears to be
the same version as is running on CentOS 7, though I see it on someone's
7.3 with flash-plugin
24.0.0.186. That's from Dec 10, and that's about when, IIRC, I started
seeing crashes.

I can't believe that we're the only ones with the problem.

Note that I just looked, and I seem to be seeing GPF on CentOS 7.

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.
