Yes.

If not kept up-to-date, yes. Adobe changed their minds a few months
ago, and now provide up-to-date Flash 24.X for linux, complete with
security patches as required. Of course, "zero-day exploits" can still
happen.

Most browsers nowadays have the option to set one of 3 values...
1) Never activate
2) Ask-to-Activate (like the old NoFlash plugin)
3) Always activate
The settings can be different for each profile. If you often visit a
site that requires flash, you can set up a separate profile for it, and
select option 3. For other profiles, you can use options 1 and/or 2.
