Go here - http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Select "Windows 7/Vista/XP/2007/2008" and then select "FP 16 for Opera and Chromium - PPAPI".
Don't forget to un-tick the "optional offer" of McAfee Security Scan unless you actually want it!

Well I rolled the dice and installed "Windows 7/Vista/XP2008/2003". The photo editing website I use "PicMonkey" tells me I still need Flash and when I try to watch a video on facebook it tells me "Flash player upgrade required".
I'm having no luck, ideas anyone?

Go to http://get.adobe.com/br/flashplayer/ using Opera and you must see the correct one to download.

What do you mean I "must see" the one to download? Using the link davehawley provided there was only 5 to choose from. And I was in Opera when I selected and made the download.

If its messed up on all your browsers I'd bet you have some kind of malware infection. Get a copy of AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes and have them check out your system.

Yes I did, sorry it wouldn't have happened if I'd been able to copy/paste it!

That's okay, I tried it and Opera still crashes. I'm seriously considering going back to Chrome.

I think you need to get completely rid of every version of Flash Player on your system, including manually deleting the folders and cleaning the registry.
Don't worry about Adobe AIR and Adobe Reader, they are nothing to do with Flash.
Then start again, just installing the PPAPI version and see if Opera is then happy.
You can then add the IE version back too if you need it.

The Windows files should be in the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder.
Not sure about on Macs I'm afraid.
Incidentally, if you don't know this, "Macromed" is the shortened eight character DOS compatible name from Macromedia, which was the company that invented Flash and were taken over by Adobe years ago.
A legacy from the mists of time that's still there on new installations even now, presumably for backwards compatibility reasons!
