With all the trouble I have been reading about that Flash Player from Adobe, is there an alternative?

Not exactly.
HTML5 is being extended by all the browser developers to be able to replace functionality Flash offers that HTML5 can't do right now. So HTML5 is close, HTML5+ gets closer.
But ultimately all the stuff Flash can do will be moved to HTML, and Flash will go away. I'm not sure how much flash is being employed in new development work now, hopefully little to none.
In the meantime Adobe will patch the bugs that are discovered and maybe even find a few themselves.
Just curious, what you are using that "needs" Flash?

Flash player is used to view video like you tube and tv over the net lots of stuff uses it. Firefox does not support it anymore and if something you want to watch needs flash you get a blank screen asking you to enable flash this time to watch.

A few days ago, some bugs were discovered in Flash and Firefox started blocking it. Adobe released a new version the next day. If you download the latest version, Firefox will not block it, and it works fine.Firefox does not support it anymore

IIRC, Apple products do not support it at all. I don't think there is even an iOS version because it is banned by them. Flash Player has always been a problem, this is not a new problem.

Foxfire does this on a regular basis. They find a security bug, block it, Adobe fixes it and get it unblocked, release another a new version, security problems are found, it gets blocked again, Adobe fixes it. Repeated again and again. It's been this way for years.

Here is a pretty good article about uninstalling it. Be sure to read the comments section as well.
