Adobe's flash player has been unsafe for a very long time and I don't expect
that to change anytime soon.

There are a few open source flash players available. They seem to be buggy
and don't support the latest version of flash very well. Also for Fedora,
h264 is patented and prevents support of that codec (commonly used in
flash) in the distro. Though people in some areas of the world can use
the codec support from RPMFusion.
