[Flashpoint uses archived versions of Flash player that still work]
Old or latest. Flash is dead.
Doesn't matter what version of browser still supports it. The
manufacturer of Flash doesn't after yesterday and will block content
from using it.
"Since Adobe will no longer be supporting Flash Player after December
31, 2020 and Adobe will block Flash content from running in Flash
Player beginning January 12, 2021, Adobe strongly recommends all users
immediately uninstall Flash Player to help protect their systems."
Adobe doesn't/didn't mediate Flash content, except by the player.
The "block" only applies if you use a version of the Flash player that
includes a time cut-off in the player code

Older versions do not include such a "block". Also, I'm sure it would be
possible to spoof the date+time to the player if it was necessary to
avoid the time cut-off.
Users of permanent beta browsers such as Chrome and non-ESR Firefox may
well have been updated to a version that disallows any Flash version,
but that's a separate issue.
OP's problem appears to be that some issue with Flashpoint/Mac OS is
causing Flashpoint to use her latest and greatest "blocked" player
instead of it providing and enabling a version suitable for the game she
is trying to play.
