Adobe Flash Player For Mac changing settings on its own!

After I updated to El Capitan on my MacBook Pro the newest Adobe Flash Player ( NPAPI-Plug-In-Version 19.0.0.185 ) is automatically and secretly changing its

preference settings ( Security Settings for example : No camera etc. ). This happens whenever I use my Safari browser.

Are the Apple technicians aware of this security problem with Adobe Flash Player for Mac?

MacBook Pro, iOS 9.0.2

I've been plagued with this on El Capitan as well. I did some testing and my Flash settings are reset every time I ask Safari to clear history or erase browsing data.


The Safari mind-wipe is triggering Adobe Flash Player to reset its preferences to the default. I'm disappointed and unchuffed at this, but happy to finally know what is causing the issue. I don't have a solution yet, though.
