Help adobe flash player

Hi everyone. I am trying to get adobe flash player to work with the samsung galaxy 6. I have marshmallow 6.01 as the operating system. I have read several websites, but none seem to work. Does anyone know of a solution?
Any assistance will be appreciated. deanie44
 
Adobe hasn't supported and updated Flash on Android since 4.x something. And is completely discontinued for mobile, and is now desktop Windows or Mac only. So it ain't going to work on 6.0 Marshmallow. Could try Puffin Browser, that uses Flash server side allowing you to view content.

Adobe gave up supporting Flash for mobile devices five years ago, Nov. 2011. Don't spend too much time trying to access Flash heavy sites on your phone, you're just going to needlessly aggregate yourself. (... plus it's better NOT having the Flash plugin on your phone, it's a security mess that Adobe has failed at fixing for years now.)
As @mikedt mentioned, you can install the Puffin browser to access Flash sites. It doesn't include an integral Flash plugin but instead relies on using Flash on its online servers, so Flash content gets run through their servers as it gets fed to your phone.

Flash is bastard child even on Windows computers.
I have a Win7 desktop that is my mainstay, and Flash crashes almost every time that I try to view something with it.

I have chosen to use a very old copy of Chrome browser on my Win7 desktop which has its' own internal Flash viewer. I refuse to update the damn thing because at least it works.... I subscribe to a newspaper that runs in flash only up until 2 months ago, when they finally, thank gawd, switched over to PDF downloads being available.
