I just loaded firefox in my laptop and it keeps wanting me to load a new version of Flash Player which I don't want. How do I turn it off so it stops bothering me?

That's not Firefox, it's the web pages with players. Yours is very old.

Security Issue: Update your Adobe Reader Version 2015.016.20039 Note: Other Software is offered in the download.

Security Issue: Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Flash Player Version: 21.0.0.242 Flash Player (Linux) Version 11.2.202.621
