MS and Google have already said so. Flash will be blocked from loading in every version of Chrome next month, and the next version of Chrome to ship will remove all Flash support entirely from the codebase. Chromium-based Edge will follow suit.

No. Firefox will drop support for the Flash plugin with Firefox 85 (January 26, 2021), but there's a cutoff date of January 12, 2021 in the plugin itself, after which it will not work even in earlier versions of Firefox.
