Why I have freezes with 20 tabs when 1-2 years ago I was able to open the same amount without any problem?
About 1-2 years ago, all was ok but not now... Firefox process uses now about 1.75 GB of RAM (I have 8GB) and 25-70% CPU. Even Adobe Flash Player plugin is not working properly. It shows 17.0 r0 and 25.0 r0 versions. Tried to uninstall old one, it is still in addons. When I tried to turn it off, it turns off the new one.

This might be your other problem;
More than one process is normal for the current Firefox. http://www.ghacks.net/2016/07/22/multi-process-firefox/
Multi-process Firefox is codenamed "e10s". https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/multiprocess

You can disable multi-process tabs in Firefox by setting

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html Uninstall Flash Player | Windows
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html Uninstall Flash Player | Mac
Then reinstall the latest version.
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: 25.0.0.148
